Book Review: ‘A Clue In The Crumbs: A Key West Food Critic Mystery’ By Lucy Burdette

Hayley Snow and her neighbor Gloria are so happy that Violet and Betina Booth (sisters) are coming to visit them in Key West. They met them last year on Hayley’s honeymoon in Scotland. They’re kicking off their new food reality show. Right when they arrive, the bed and breakfast they are to stay in gets lit on fire. So they stay with Gloria, and start the taping of the show. One of the contestants Rayna, who co-owns the b and b, has a husband who doesn’t want her on the show, and shows up and they argue. The next day, he is found stabbed, with a knife that belongs to the sisters. So Hayley decides to help out with her cop husband, and helps find clues as to who might be the murderer, and make sure the sisters are cleared of any wrong doing. Along the way, secrets are revealed, and the murderer is brought to justice. I love this series, and it’s another fun one. The characters are fun and quirky, and the setting is perfect for these small town mysteries. Lucy Burdette also puts in some recipes in the back of the book of some of the foods mentioned. Fans of this series will be happy with this one.
