Cooking Up a Mystery
“There are
things you do because they feel right and they may make no sense and they may
make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and
to eat each other’s cooking and say it was good.” Brian Andreas
The customers
at Laney’s Delectable Delights say her food’s delicious. Laney Eskridge runs
the tea house in Cooking Up A Mystery,
a new release.She worked to put her husband through dental school. Then he
left with another woman. She's on edge from the emotional scars and her
parents' deaths. Then she hears unexplained noises in her new tea house, and
her anxiety is tripled. Add a budding romance with Eric—a guy with a fear of
commitment—and it's all too much to handle. She cuts ties with Eric and plunges
into making her business pay off.
When Eric discovers that Laney's in danger, he vows to protect her. But can he make a lasting promise? Will she trust him? . . .and when they overhear a threat that could cause national turmoil, will anyone believe them? There's more brewing than herbal tea in Cooking up a Mystery.
Laney’s Chefs in the Making section in the back of the book
contains over two dozen recipes supplied by Mission Love Seeds, a charitable
organization. They’re taken from the group’s Heavenly Delights, authored by Pam Nichols Griffin. Mission Love
Seeds was created to help children throughout the world and
responds locally after disasters to demonstrate God’s love. Visit at
