Dru’s Short Musing:
Instead of spending quality time with her boyfriend, a catering gig interrupted their vacation plan as well as . . . murder.
This was a fast paced and well written whodunit that I could not put down until all was said and done. The author did a great job in telling this drama with visually descriptive narrative, engaging dialogue, a solidly wicked multi-plot scenario, a spoonful of suspects, clues left to be deciphered and plenty of intrigue and suspense that kept me glued to the pages. The mystery was nicely executed, and I enjoyed watching the comings and goings as each move made took us closer to the identity of the killer. There were so many ways for this to turn out, but the author knew how to keep us interested in the outcome with the how it was done, why it was done and who did the deed. There were a few twists that enhanced my reading pleasure. Overall, a delightfully entertaining read.

Book Synopsis:
The sixth book in the delectable Deep Dish Mystery series, set in a Wisconsin pizzeria.
Chef Delilah O’Leary is going where no deep dish pizza chef has gone before: a swanky wellness retreat, where she’s agreed to cater for a crowd of the who’s who. Instead of cashing a fat check for an easy gig, though, she encounters a diabolical plot with more layers than one of her signature pies.
The exclusive event, hosted by superstar guru Rhiannon Frost, promises inner transformation—but when a spiteful attendee turns up dead during the guided meditation, Delilah smells more than incense in the air. Every guest has a motive…and access to a sinister walled garden brimming with exotic poisonous plants.
With her restaurant short-staffed, and her boyfriend, Detective Calvin Capone, splitting his time between bartender duties and undercover sleuthing, Delilah’s got her hands full. Can she slice through the lies before the killer strikes again? Or will this luxe getaway turn into a one-way trip to the great beyond?
