Ginger Snapped: A Spice Shop Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Murder comes well-seasoned in Ginger Snapped, Gail Oust's newest novel in the charming, "must-read" (Publishers Weekly) Spice Shop mystery series.
Piper Prescott and Police Chief Wyatt McBride might have gotten off on the wrong foot but, over the past year, their interactions have evolved into a friendship of sorts. And when the body of Shirley Randolph is found floating in a fishing hole, their relationship reaches entirely new territory.
Shirley, the town's Realtor of the Year, was also Wyatt's suspected romantic interest, and now the residents of Brandywine Creek are speculating that Wyatt is responsible for her death. As the town council moves to suspend the handsome lawman, Piper springs into action to save his reputation and possibly his freedom. She enlists the aid of her BFF, Reba Mae Johnson, along with Wyatt himself, to help solve the puzzle and find Shirley's real killer.
Pointing them toward high-powered real estate tactics and possible affairs, the investigation soon becomes personal when Piper's shop, Spice It Up!, is burglarized, and she's forced off the road late one night, narrowly escaping serious injury. Realizing that she must be close to uncovering the truth, and that the evidence against Wyatt is no longer circumstantial, Piper resorts to drastic measures to prevent a grave miscarriage of justice.

Spice shop owner Piper Prescott finds the demise of her chief rival for the police chief's affections both a blessing and a curse.Since sharing a plate of nachos at North of the Border is the Brandywine Creek equivalent of a printed engagement announcement, locals have long assumed that handsome police chief Wyatt McBride and willowy realtor Shirley Randolph are an item. So when Shirley's naked corpse is discovered in a pond on McBride's property, a lovers' quarrel is the presumed motive, while means and opportunity speak for themselves so loudly that McBride is temporarily suspended, leaving Sgt. Beau Tucker in charge of the investigation. And tickled as Piper may be to have Shirley out of her way, she doesn't like having McBride in Tucker's cross hairs one bit. So as in Curried Away (2016), Piper once more has to pry suspicion from a close friend by finding the real criminal herself. And this time she has a leg up on her search. Dimwitted handyman Ned Feeney, who's reluctant to invade Shirley's closet to find an outfit for her to be buried in, gives the key to Piper, who can now snoop at will. But shouldn't her newfound access to Shirley's house be less exciting than her newfound access to McBride? Oust focuses on deduction rather than seduction, leaving Piper's romance--which actually does progress--to develop in the dark. The puzzle's OK but may disappoint fans who like their murders spicier.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Oust deliciously upends a cozy trope—amateur sleuth vs. professional cop—in her fifth Spice Shop mystery (after 2016’s Curried Away). Fortyish, divorced Piper Prescott offers “anise to za’atar” and sage advice at Spice It Up!, her Brandywine, Ga., shop, but when murder’s the matter, detect she must—to the perpetual annoyance of police chief Wyatt McBride. Now he needs her: realtor Shirley Randolph’s naked body is found in the fishing hole behind his house. They were seen sharing chili fries; suddenly he’s a suspect. Even before the death is tagged homicide, he’s suspended without pay. Interim chief Sgt. Beau Tucker likes the top badge for the crime and only halfheartedly investigates. But Piper would bet her last ginger rhizome that gorgeous, widowed Wyatt is innocent. Between deliveries of goulash and pizza to his house, she courts danger stalking likely villains with sidekick Reba Mae Johnson. And she risks social opprobrium and her teenage daughter’s wrath by agreeing to chaperone the senior prom and asking Wyatt to escort her. Their prom date is hilarious and touching. Ginger lore and simple recipes provide lagniappe. Agent: Jessica Faust, BooksEnds.

From the windows of Spice It Up! on the square in sleepy Brandywine Creek, Georgia, proprietor Piper Prescott can track the doings in town. It looks like hunky Police Chief Wyatt McBride and gorgeous real-estate agent Shirley Randolph are definitely an item. Piper expects to see them at the wedding of her former mother-in-law and a retired judge. But she doesn't. No one does. Just as the vows are said, cell phones ring, as law-enforcement personnel, the coroner, and a reporter slip out. Shirley's nude body has been found on McBride's property, making him the prime suspect. Piper believes he's innocent, but the hapless deputies in charge don't see it that way. Piper and her pal Reba Mae consider the other options as the town turns out for Shirley's funeral, the senior class holds its prom, and Shirley's real-estate clients scramble to complete transactions. Secondary characters from the four earlier titles in the series are back, adding depth and some backstory. This will appeal to fans of Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles series. Includes recipes.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
