If you're looking for something easy to read this is the perfect choice. I finished it in one sitting, and it's the perfect thing to read while curled up in bed. I liked it a bit better than the first one, and I hope there's more to come.

Dollycas’s Thoughts
I read and reviewed the first book in this series, Fillet of Murder earlier this month, and loved it. This one grabbed me that same way.
Taila Marby now owns the restaurant and it has a new name, Fry Me a Sliver. She also has a new, employee, Martha Hoelscher, and she is a bit prickly to be around, but she is a good worker. Lucas is still there as part time help and his skateboard goes almost everywhere he does. Talia is working to make the place her own and adding some new items to the menu. She takes part in a fundraiser for the community center and debuts something new. It is a hit with almost everyone. Everyone except the vendor in the next booth. She owns a new boutique in the Wrensdale Arcade and she doesn’t like Talia or her food. By the time Talia starts to figure out why, the woman is dead and Talia is the primary suspect. How is she going to get herself out of this mess?
I liked that this time the murder takes place away from the Wrensdale Arcade and that meant we met several new people. Some nice, some a little weird, and a some that could be trouble. We do spend plenty of time at the Arcade with the cobblestone walks, unique shops and Talia’s eatery. Reilly really describes the scene well. I had a firm picture in my mind.
She also creates full bodied characters with a lot of depth. Some of the back stories are sad and my heart really felt bad for them. But not everyone is who they seem and those twists were so great. I would probably say one really shocked me. Totally surprised.
I was missing Bea, the previous owner of the restaurant. I was thrilled when she made a cameo appearance!
I have to mention that kitty on the cover, his name is Bojangles, Bo for short and he has not only captured Talia’s heart but mine too.
You will be craving fish and other fried goodies throughout this entire story so prepare according, We had fish for dinner. :)
Another delectable delight from this author. I am ready to place my order for the next installment today. FRY ME!!!
