The witty new story from the bestselling author of The Secret Book & Scone Society series is perfect for bibliophiles who love a A Bookish Cook-Off with a little murder on the side…

“Love Chopped and mysteries? This delightful character-driven cozy is just the treat for you.”— Kirkus Reviews

Six chefs are preparing to compete in an outdoor tent at Storyton Hall in Virginia for prizes that will boost their careers—but is there someone who can’t stand the heat? It looks that way when one of the contestants is found dead in a pantry packed with two centuries’ worth of cookbooks, among other treasures and rarities.

Could there be a connection to other recent events in town, like tampering with the costume of a local mascot? Jane isn’t sure, but after someone serves a second course of murder, the kitchen must be closed and the killer must be found . . .

“Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.”—Suspense Magazine on Murder in the Locked Library

A Recipe For A Twisted Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Another winner as the storyline is unraveled for Jane Steward and her regular ensemble of characters from Edwin, her Cover Girls Bookclub of reading buddies, and Jane's Storyton Fins! Having an established filming crew set up to capture the cooking
competition between accomplished Chefs at the Storyton Hall
sounded like good entertainment for the guests and would provide a healthy income for Storyton Hall. That is, of course, until one the competing Chefs shows up murdered in the kitchen's Cookbook Nook!

Packed with twists and turns, this novel will guarantee to
keep you on the edge of your favorite cozy reading chair! As this tale unfolds, you are right there next to Jane as she searches out clues and strings them together. You find yourself trying to figure out who these clues will lead Jane to and wonder what the motive could possibly be. All you know for sure is Jane has stumbled upon these clues and if she and the Fins can't solve these clues soon, another new victim will be discovered! It is a race against the clock and Jane Seward feels the urgency of the challenge!
And so do you!

This book is quite the page turner and will attract established Ellery Adams fans but also entice any cozy mystery fan looking for a great, new read.

Loved this book. I believe Ellery just gets better as a writer with each new publication. Fast paced, well written and the characters just come to life. Jane and her crew can handle anything and her relationship with Edwin is excellent. I love the twins and how they are growing up. Be prepared to try to finish reading the book in one sitting and to be hungry when you get finished! Enjoy!

A Really Good Cozy Mystery!

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is #7 of the 7 book series: Book Retreat Mysteries. A unique premise runs throughout the series--Jane is Guardian of a long line of Guardians of rare books and manuscripts. She owns and runs Storyton Hall, a mansion resort inn small-town Virginia.. This novel I think is the best of the series. There is a televised chef cook-off taking place at Storyton Hall and there is an interesting twist at the end. I'm sorry it's #7 of 7 but maybe there will be more?

I love this series. Each book is fun, mysterious and leaves you longing to visit Storyton Hall. The mystery revolves around a Food/Chef Competition. I hope that the author continues this series. All of the characters, especially the reoccurring ones, are well rounded, feel like they are people you want to get to know.

Murder in the Cookbook Nook is everything you could hope for in a good mystery. Well developed characters, surprising twists and turns and an unexpected ending. It is also nice to have Olivia Limoges of the Books By The Bay series a part of the story.

The Storyton series is one of my favourites, and this latest addition doesn’t disappoint. Great plotting, authentic characters, and the usual literary asides. A wonderful book to curl up with ~

Enjoyable Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2021

Running a five star resort is a huge, full-time, responsibility but one owner Jane Steward embraces wholeheartedly. Only her twin boys, partner Edwin, and immediate family are more important to her. Although Storyton Hall is already popular, extending its charm to potential new clients is always a top priority to all who love it. So, when Jane is offered the chance to host the forthcoming series of extremely popular cookery competition Posh Palate with Mia Mallett she grabs it with both hands.

As the opening challenge draws ever nearer a fire near the main tent has everyone involved hoping it isn't a bad omen but things are about to get so much worse! With the local sheriff and her trusted friends, the Fins and the Cover Girls, Jane begins an investigation while still trying to keep everything else as normal as possible. As tensions increase for everyone, Jane finds herself far more involved in the finale than she could ever have imagined.

This is an engagingly, original, cosy mystery which was a pleasure to experience. Although this is the seventh book in the Book Retreat series it is the first I have read. This wasn't a hindrance in any way and I look forward to reading more about Jane Steward in her previous outings. The protagonists were a great group and there were more suspects than I expected which provided entertaining red herrings at every turn.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. This is a slightly different take on the cosy crime genre and well worth a read.
