Killer Comfort Food by Lynn Cahoon

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Killer Comfort Food" the 5th instalment in the Farm to Fork Mystery series by Lynn Cahoon.

Angie Turner's Idaho restaurant, the County Seat, is known and loved for its fresh food. For Angie, it's also meant a fresh start. But when big agriculture comes to town—along with whispers of foul play—Angie could lose more than the farm . . .

A soybean processing plant is trying to buy up the land around the small farm Angie's beloved Nona left her. If Angie doesn't sell, she'll be surrounded by the plant and the congestion that comes with it. On the other hand, it's Nona's farmhouse. What is Angie supposed to do without it? Move into a condo in town with Precious, Mabel, and Dom—respectively, a goat, chicken, and dog. Worse, a troubling rumor is circulating about the lawyer who's heading up the development: His socialite wife seems to be missing. When Barb, owner of the local bar, asks Angie to look into the woman's disappearance, she's hesitant—until Barb reveals her surprising connection. Now it's up to Angie to find the woman, uncover a shady plot, and hang onto her home—before she becomes a criminal's final course . . .

I really enjoyed this story, and I love Angies Zoo as she calls them Dom the Saint Bernard, Precious the goat and Mabel the hen. One thing I enjoy with this series is the sense of family even if not blood, we choose who are family is by the people we trust and have in our lives. Angie has surrounded herself with a good group of people, Ian was such a calming presence for her.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted. I kept guessing and second-guessing myself on whodunnit right to the very end. I can’t wait for book 6 and find out what’s in store with Angie and her friends.

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.
