One Feta in the Grave is the third installment in the Kebab Kitchen Mystery series set in Ocean Crest, NJ and features Lucy Berberian, ex lawyer who has returned home to manage her family's Mediterranean themed restaurant, Kebab Kitchen. The summer season is winding down and the last week long event planned for the tourist town will include a food and wine tasting organized by Lucy. The Sandcastle competition kicks off the festivities and comes to an abrupt end when owner of the boardwalk t-shop, Archie Kincaid gets into a very loud and verbal confrontation with neighboring shop owner Harold Harper.
Harold has pointed out that one of the sand sculptures was crafted by Archie's nephew, Neil and thus Archie should be kicked off the judging panel. When Lucy's best friend Katie Watson who is in charge of the judges agrees with Harold, Archie goes after her. It seems as though Katie who also works in the town office and is in charge of licensing had denied Archie's application to open a rental bike shop and he hasn't forgotten. A few days later Lucy stumbles upon the body of Archie under the boardwalk, and Detective Calvin Clemmons is quick to point the finger at Katie.
Determined to clear her best friend's name, Lucy sets out at the request of Katie's husband Bill to find the real killer. Her snooping leads Lucy to discover that there are many people in the seaside community who didn't like the shopkeeper including his neighbors, nephew, girlfriend and wife.
A fast paced plot with likable, returning characters, mouthwatering recipes and an adorable stray cat named Gadoo. While it's not necessary to read each book in the series, I suggest starting at the beginning to fully understand the back story for each of the main characters. I truly hope that the author does not continue much longer with the dreaded love triangle (I'm Team Michael).
