A Deadly Deli Mystery

review 1: Gwen (nee Katz) Silver heard the brisket at her uncle’s Jewish deli, Murray the Pastrami Swami—the only one of its kind in Nashville, Tennessee—was “to die for.” But she didn’t realize that meant literally…When Gwen learns she’s inherited Murray’s, the native New Yorker leaves her chaotic career and messy divorce behind to start over in Nashville. But the venture seems doomed from the start. Murray’s taken his recipes and secret list of food suppliers to the grave with him, and ruthless real estate developer Royce Sinclair will stop at nothing to try and sandwich Murray’s into his already overstuffed portfolio. Then, on Kosher Karaoke Night, longtime customer Buster Sergeant bites into his brisket…and bites the dust. The coroner says food poisoning,... more but Gwen’s not convinced. Now, with the help of hunky police detective Beau McClintock, “Nashville Katz”—as Gwen is quickly nicknamed—will find herself adding “private investigator” to her resume—and a new love to her life.
review 2: Not a bad read in general. It is just pretty slow and slightly predictable. It looks to be that a second part of this story is in the works (which needs to happen). However I'm pretty sure I wont be picking it up. When ending a book that will have multiple parts needs to leave you in a state where you can't wait for the next one to come out, this one does not do that. The ending was just plain awkward and disappointing. less
