A Memphis BBQ Mystery

review 1: Tristan Pembroke is an important figure in the beauty pageant world. A former beauty queen, now a coach for aspiring contestants, she also seems to find her life's work is insulting and thwarting everyone around her. It's no surprise when she is found dead, but Lulu, owner of Aunt Pat's barbecue, is afraid that her daughter-in-law Sara, a talented artist, will be one of the suspects. Lulu's flighty friend Cherry decides to be her chief sidekick. Although Lulu's sure nobody will worry about a little old lady snooping, she's a little too sharp to be completely harmless.
review 2: I skipped the second one and read this one because it has to be back at the library first.Lulu Taylor is the owner of Aunt Pat's, a barbeque restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee. Lulu m... moreakes everyone feel welcome and makes sure that they will get enough to eat. Lulu is invited to attend a party at Tristan Pembroke's home. The party is to promote art. Sara, Lulu's daughter-in-law, has some of her paintings in the show, so Lulu is attending the party to show her support. Tristan is probably the most hated person around. She doesn't care what people think of her and if she hurts someone along the way, too bad! She has even gone so far as to kick her daughter out of the house to fend for herself. So when Tristan turns up dead at the party, no one is overcome with grief.Lulu starts asking questions because Sara seems to be one of the top suspects for the murder, because she and Tristan had a huge argument at the party shortly before the body is found. When another woman, closely associated with Tristan is found murdered some days later. Lulu is even more determined to find out who the culprit is. Will her meddling turn deadly? You'll have to pick this book and find out.This is the third in the series. I haven't read the second one yet but should get to it shortly. I look forward to reading more of these tasty cozies. less
