A review by moondance120
Snoop to Nuts by Elizabeth Lee

3.0

I believed right from the beginning that it was the prize-winning hog scooting down the crowded midway at the annual Riverville, Texas, Agriculture Fair that started it all.

Lindy's grandmother, Miss Amelia, has submitted her Heavenly Texas Pecan Caviar in "the Most Original Pecan Treat" category at the Fair. Imagine her surprise when one of the judges dies after eating the dish and the cause of death is poison. Lindy is determined to clear her grandmother's name and find the true culprit.

I didn't enjoy this second book in the series as much as I did the first. I became weary of Lindy's attitude early on. I really like Miss Amelia and the twins. Even grumpy Ethelred made me smile.

I like the Nut House and the small town atmosphere. The family dynamics are realistic and believable.

I don't quite understand Lindy and Hunter's relationship. It's almost as if they never left high school.

The mystery was not much of a mystery. I pretty much knew who the murderer was when they were introduced.

The recipes were the best part of the book. I'm interested in trying several of them.

I may give this series a rest for a bit and revisit it at another time.
