Book #2 in the Ethnic Eats Mystery series:
The Statue of Liberty is 130 years old, and for the struggling residents of Hubbard, Ohio, any opportunity to bring in tourists is reason enough for a celebration. Laurel Inwood and her aunt, Sophie, are pitching in. Sophie's Terminal at the Tracks, a former greasy spoon turned charming ethnic eatery, will be offering French cuisine for the entire week.
For expert help with their quiche and escargot, the ladies turn to Raquel "Rocky" Arnaud, a former French chef and friend of Sophie. What looks like a match made in heaven turns rank as quickly as buttermilk on a summer's day. Rocky turns up dead and when her nightly red wine shows notes of oak, cinnamon, and poison, Laurel turns from souffle to sleuth.

My Review: I love the main character Laurel! She's conflicted because she loves working with her Aunt Sophie, but she is also pursuing a lucrative personal chef job in DC. The mystery is solving Sophie's friend's murder. I love the Declan character, who knows maybe he and Laurel will become a couple?
