A Brisket, a Casket
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Gwen (nee Katz) Silver heard the brisket at her uncle's Jewish deli, Murray the Pastrami Swami—the only one of its kind in Nashville, Tennessee—was "to die for." But she didn't realize that meant literally. . .
When Gwen learns she's inherited Murray's, the native New Yorker leaves her chaotic career and messy divorce behind to start over in Nashville. But the venture seems doomed from the start. Murray's taken his recipes and secret list of food suppliers to the grave with him, and ruthless real estate developer Royce Sinclair will stop at nothing to try and sandwich Murray's into his already overstuffed portfolio. Then, on Kosher Karaoke Night, longtime customer Buster Sergeant bites into his brisket. . .and bites the dust. The coroner says food poisoning, but Gwen's not convinced. Now, with the help of hunky police detective Beau McClintock, "Nashville Katz"—as Gwen is quickly nicknamed—will find herself adding "private investigator" to her resume—and a new love to her life.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Delia Rosen is the author of A Brisket, A Casket and One Foot in the Gravy. She now lives in Maine. She spends her time between writing and searching for good bagels.

Hapless New York accountant Gwen Silver makes a disastrous move to Nashville to take over her uncle's deli in this flavorless debut. Gwen is happy to leave New York and her larcenous ex-husband, but the new venture hits a snag when local car dealer and celebrity Buster Sergeant keels over after eating her brisket. Then Gwen is attacked and locked into the walk-in freezer. Is the culprit pushy developer Royce Ramsey, lawyer Cyrus Liarson, or one of Gwen's own employees? Good thing she has attractively mysterious Det. Beau McClintock and bitchy battle-ax manager Thomasina Jackson on her side. The overworked shtick is full of caricatures and lacking in surprises, and awkward prose ("Only her anxious expression convinced me she wasn't setting a trap to test my deli acumen") further hampers the threadbare plot.
