Hot Wings and Homicide - (A Food Truck Mystery) by Carmela Dutra

Book Synopsis

Twins Beth and Seth Lloyd are on the chopping block in the follow-up to A Murder Most Fowl, where a perfect recipe for murder is stirred up.

Business at Kluckin' Good is smoking hot. To keep momentum going, Beth and her twin brother Seth just scored a prime spot at the Flavors of the Bay Food Festival. For three and a half days, food lovers will flock to the Bay Area's biggest culinary event to enjoy gourmet food trucks, cook-offs, and live music, but this recipe for success is also the perfect set-up for murder.

When the infamous food critic Brad Dawson--also Beth's ex--turns up dead, the only clue at the scene of the crime is a Kluckin' Good tumbler mug. The timing couldn't be worse. Beth and Brad were seen in a heated altercation and days prior witnesses saw Seth punch Brad. Suspicion naturally falls on the twins. With the cops hot on their trail, Beth will have to avoid the flames to clear their names and save her food truck's reputation.

But the chickens are out of the coop, and as Beth digs into Brad's final hours, she will uncover rivalries, grudges, and a different side of Brad she never knew. If she doesn't crack the case soon, she might be the next one to get cooked. Best of cluck!

A mouthwatering mystery for fans of Joanne Fluke that will leave you peckish for more.
