Welcome
to Aunt Pat's barbeque restaurant-family run and located in the heart
of Memphis, Tennessee. Named in honor of Lulu Taylor's great aunt, the
restaurant is known for its ribs and spicy corn bread, but now the
Taylor family will be known for murder-unless Lulu can clear their
name... Rebecca Adrian came to
Memphis to suss out the best local BBQ for prominent Cooking Channel
show. Trouble is, Rebecca doesn't live long enough to mention a bad
review. A mystery ingredient has killed her-and now all the fingers are
pointing to Aunt Pat's restaurant. Horrified that her family is being
accused of murder, Lulu fires up her investigative skills to solve the
crime before someone else gets skewered...I was very disappointed in this book, it was an extremely slow read for me.In fact I was about a third of he way through it when I just had to push my way through the rest of it, to just get to the end and say I finished it. I haven't felt that way about a book in a long time. It just had too many characters to keep up with, it was difficult to remember who was related to whom and what interactions they had with each other. I also felt like there were too many points of view from the characters, I understand that the author was trying to get everyone's two cents put in, but it just made it very confusing. I felt the plot was a little lacking also and that there could have been a better ending. I had very high hopes for this book but was seriously let down, It will take alot of convincing to pick up another one of Riley Adams books next time. Honestly... the best part about this book is the recipes in the back... to me it really wasn't worth the time. :(
