Mystery readers “eat up” Melinda Wells’ Della Carmichael culinary mysteries. Killer Mousse introduced the cooking school owner, cable television show star, and amateur detective. Last year’s Death Takes the Cake was one of MG’s bestselling mysteries. Now The Proof is in the Pudding as Della is persuaded to act as a judge for a competitive celebrity cooking show, but someone is permanently eliminating the contestants. Start: 2:00 pm

Mystery readers are also book lovers, unsurprisingly, and now have a second Bibliophile Mystery, If Books Could Kill, to add to their shelves. Last year’s debut, Homicide in Hardcover, found San Francisco rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright using her specialized knowledge to help solve the murder of her mentor. Brooklyn travels to Scotland for a week at the prestigious Edinburgh Book Fair, neither expecting to run into her old flame, Kyle, nor anticipating that the centuries old controversial manuscript he possesses may be the key to his murder. |
