"Love had done me wrong and love could kiss my queso."

This is just one of the lines in this book, the second in the Taste of Texas Mystery series, that made me laugh out of loud. This book if full of quips like these, which makes it a fun read. Our protagonist, Josie, tries to tell her best friend Patti to stay away from her famous heartbreaker of an ex, but the heart wants what it wants. Patti can't resist Jeff, in spite of their past, especially when he's up on stage singing his heart out to her and making all the other ladies crazy jealous. When Josie goes to meet up with Mr. Heartbreaker himself the next day for a newspaper interview, she finds him naked and dead, face-down in a bowl of guacamole. While he may have put on a good country music show, he clearly was doing something wrong, and Josie is determined to find out what it was.

I hadn't read the first book in this series, and this one kind of hit the ground running, which made it hard to initially get into. Josie and Patti are part of a very colorful and sassy cast of characters with a love of all things Texas, especially Tex-Mex food. The book includes some incredible recipes too. If you're a fan of the southwest and/or mysteries that center around the music industry, this one is for you.
