"Killer Crab Cakes"

"Killer Crab Cakes" authored by Livia J. Washburn was the next "Fresh-baked mystery" on my reading list.  Phyllis Newsom and her friends are off to the Oak Knoll Bed 'n' Breakfast to watch her cousin's B & B while her cousin and husband are visiting their new grandchild.  One would think that Phyllis could take a vacation from murder, too, but when each day brings the unexplained death and/or murder of a guest, Phyllis and her now boyfriend, Sam, set out to help the local Police Chief and his Police chief assistant daughter solve the murders -- whether their help is wanted or not.  Phyllis doesn't want her cousin's livelihood threatened nor does she want the wrong persons accused or convicted of murder.  Oh...and, yes, there is a cooking contest for Phyllis and her friend, Carolyn, to participate in!  This was a quick, light read with some yummy looking recipes.  Enjoy..... pazt
