A Second Helping of Murder (A Comfort Food Mystery)
Trixie Matkowski is warming up to running her family's diner in the small town of Sandy Harbor in upstate New York. But the only thing more demanding than serving piping-hot comfort food twenty-four hours of the day is getting to the bottom of a double homicide...
Trixie fondly remembers summers as a child spent visiting the shores of Lake Ontario. Not much has changed there are still vinyl boots at the Silver Bullet Diner, families eating home-cooked comfort food, and days of swimming in the lake.
But befor Trixie can say "Order's Up", someone's summer is abruptly cut short. One of the cottage residents is found dead, and Trixie suspects the crime might be linked to an unsolved disappearance in the picturesque town's past.
As Trixie works with Deputy Ty Brisco to solve both mysteries, their shocking discoveries will shake up the small town. And when word gets out that she's on the case, Trixie's in trouble, after all, the murderer won't spare her life just because she makes a killer corned beef sandwich...
Summer has finally come to Sandy Harbor and Trixie Matkowski has finally gotten her Silver Bullet Diner off to a great start! This year she has done some renovations to the lake side cottages on her property in hopes that the summer renters will come to visit like they have before when her Aunt Stella and Uncle Porky own them. Trouble starts when a decade old mystery is uncovered at the beach and leads back to those very same cottages. Can Trixie track down the killer or has she finally bitten off more than she can chew?
This second helping of mystery was a great follow up to the first edition, and I can't wait to read more from this great series. Trixie is sassy and funny and when it comes down to mystery...well, she's always cooking up more trouble! This book has a great group of characters and is written at a perfect pace. The plot was very intriguing and had me turning pages faster than you can say "Orders up"!
