A Kenni Lowry Mystery

Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth. And let me tell you, this broth is in trouble. Get ready for a Southern showdown.

The residents of Cottonwood, Kentucky are sent into a tizzy when the Culinary Channel comes to town to film an episode of Southern Home Cookin’ with celebrity chef Frank Von Lee.

Especially Sheriff Kenni Lowry.

Her mama’s award-winning chicken pot pie is what brought Frank to town, and they don’t make hair in the South bigger than her mama’s ego after the news.

When Frank Von Lee is found dead from food poisoning and the most likely culprit is Mama’s chicken pot pie, Kenni’s poppa, the former sheriff, comes back from the Great Beyond to assist in the investigation.

But nothing’s prepared Kenni for such a personal tie to a case, and she finds herself pushing the limits of the laws she’s sworn to protect.

This book’s so delicious it’ll make your mouth water and leave you hankerin’ for more.

A fast paced, enjoyable read. Kenni is a character you will fall in love with, much like her small town full of food and hospitality. Kenni’s Momma is something else! What a lovable character.

When the news hits town that a famous tv chef is coming, Kenni’s momma is out to prove she makes the best chicken pot pie. And then, well, the famous chef is dead and it’s not looking good for Momma!  With a little heavenly help, can Kenni remain true to her police oath? With suspects just popping up all over the place, it may be difficult.

Great plot, fast paced action and lovable characters. Ingredients for a good story!
