Deep Fried Revenge by Lynn Cahoon

5.0

Deep Fried Revenge by Lynn Cahoon was the much needed respite I required. I had to cancel my vacation to Idaho due to the quarantine and was worried about how much I’d be missing it. I needn’t have worried. Ms. Cahoon once again was able to bring me back to one of my favorite places on earth, Idaho, with just her words. This cozy murder mystery is set against the state fair and a food competition. Our heroine Angie and the rest of The County Seat gang have to solve the murder of a fellow chef and competitor before the murderer takes out one of their own. In the mean time Angie’s wonderful boyfriend, Ian, has taken in a run-away and her best friend Felicia is dating her sous-chef Estebe. I enjoyed learning more about each of the characters and seeing Angie’s relationships with them develop. There’s murder and mayhem but also humor and romance. The descriptions of the settings from the fairgrounds to Angie’s home to the restaurant left this reader daydreaming about her next visit to Boise. To top it all off Ms. Cahoon’s description of the fair food will leave your mouth watering for cotton candy and corn dogs. If you’re looking for a good story to read while sheltering in place look no further.
