Ashes to Ashes, Crust to Crust by Mindy Quigley - 4 stars!

 


Newly single pizzeria owner Delilah O’Leary is determined to keep her restaurant afloat in the resort town of Geneva Bay, Wisconsin. To boost her bottom line, she sets her sights on winning the cash prize in the town’s annual “Taste of Wisconsin” culinary contest. In her corner, there's her wisecracking BFF, her cantankerous great-aunt, and a recipe for Pretzel Crust Deep-Dish Bratwurst Pizza. But while Delilah and her team have been focused on pumping out perfect pizza pies, her ex-fiancĂ© has cozied up to a new squeeze, juice bar owner Jordan Watts―Delilah’s contest rival. When one of Jordan’s juice bar customers is poisoned by a tainted smoothie, Delilah becomes a suspect. Delilah must act quickly before another one bites the crust.
This was a wonderfully delicious mystery filled with delicious characters, a scrumptious plot and a mystery that you want to sink your teeth into. I love Delilah and how she solves this mystery. She's intelligent, well spoken, and curious to the point of being nosy. The only issue I had with this book is that it seemed to take too long to get to the climax. I suggest reading this book if you like cozy mysteries and deep-dish pizza. This review is my unbiased opinion. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity of reading this advanced reader's copy.
