One Feta In The Grave by Tina Kashian is the third book in the “Kebab Kitchen” culinary cozy mystery series. Publisher: Kensington Books, coming February 26, 2019.

As summer comes to an end in her Jersey Shore town, Lucy Berberian continues to manage her family’s Mediterranean restaurant. The Kebab Kitchen also has a food tent at this year’s beach festival. But now a local businessman is under the boardwalk–dead by the sea . . .

With a sand castle contest and live music, Ocean Crest bids a bittersweet farewell to tourist season. Summer will return next year . . . but Archie Kincaid won’t. The full-of-himself store owner has been fatally shot, soon after a screaming match with Lucy’s best friend. Katie’s far from the only suspect, though, since Archie had some bitter rivals–as well as some relationships no one knew about. It’s up to Lucy to look into some seedy characters and solve the case before the wrong person gets skewered . . .

I had a good time with my annual visit to Ocean Crest where once again, murder takes center stage. An argument with the victim leads to Kate being a suspect. Starting their own investigation, Lucy and Kate discover a slew of suspect who had a stronger motive for the victim’s demise.

The pacing and the comfortable tone made this an easy book to follow along with Lucy and Kate thanks to the narration by author. The author did a great job in delivering a strong solid whodunit that kept me immersed in all that was happening from the murder to the collection of suspects to the clues that were disseminated throughout and to all the pieces falling together to form a clear and concise tale that catered to my mystery-loving self. With engaging dialogue, an eclectic cast of characters and a perfect beach setting on a cold winter’s day, this was a delightfully charming adventure and I look forward to more with Lucy, Kate and their friends.
