"Oh, pu-leeze, Rowena, Anya Seton never measured up to Daphne du Maurier's elegance."

This is book one in the Read'em and Eat series. Best friends, Sassy Cabot and Bridgy Mayfield moved from Brooklyn to Fort Myers Beach to open a bookstore/café. The café has tables and menu items named for authors and books. The bookstore hosts numerous book clubs during the week. The girls-although mostly Sassy-become sleuths when an elderly patron and book club member is found dead in her home.

This is a lovely little cozy that mixes culinary and books. What a nice combination! Sassy and Bridgy play well off of each other as they investigate the murder of a quiet little lady. Ms. Delia's cousin, Augusta, insists that Sassy help find the killer. Mystery men, loyal friends, fortune hunters and a hunky detective round out the storyline. Most enjoyable and I look forward to next book. Nice recipe for Buttermilk Pie, too!
