Still Life in Brunswick Stew by Larissa Reinhart
5.0
Cherry Tucker is a starving artist with a history of helping friends, especially those from the other side of the tracks. Her best friend, Eloise, convinces her to exhibit at the Sidewinder Annual Brunswick Stew Cook-Off, but the event nets no sales. Worse, Eloise sickens, is transported to the hospital, and dies.
Turns out, a slew of folks have food poisoning, though only two people die. Cherry is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery because she believes it’s no accident. Someone murdered Eloise and by God they will pay.
Red herrings and suspects abound, making this book a delight to mystery readers. Cherry turns a deaf ear to the cops, including her uncle and her current boyfriend, and presses forward. A delightful romp of southern fun, feminine sass, and outright zaniness that had me laughing out loud.
