Toasting Up Trouble By Linda Wiken

Wishing you a delightful Independence Day to those of you reading my post in the USA today. Toasting Up Trouble by Linda Wiken found it's way to my table this past week and it is out tomorrow. First in a new series A Dinner Club Mystery is a foodies delight. I found the idea of a dinner club very intriguing and the murder of a famous and unscrupulous chef a very interesting parallel. The main character J.J. Tanner sure has her hands full in this mystery. Suspenseful and Delicious mystery awaits the reader in this culinary tale. I truly do love the cover!

  Event planner Jennifer “J.J.” Tanner has a full plate, but that’s the way she likes it. First, it’s her turn to choose the recipe for the next meeting of the Culinary Capers Dinner Club, a gathering of foodie friends who experiment with entrées for their creative and gastronomical pleasure. Second, she’s organizing an Italian princess party for the twenty-one-year-old daughter of a high-tech millionaire.
 But one thing J.J. didn’t plan on is that the caterer for the event—hotshot chef Antonio Marcotti—would end up murdered the night of the party. Or that she’d end up being a prime suspect after having had a heated argument with the unscrupulous chef. Now it’s up to J.J.—with help from her fellow Club members and a handsome if mysterious private eye—to turn the tables on the real killer...

On My Table And In My Cup June 25th- July 2nd

Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea and a week in review. On my table this week I have had some amazing cozy mysteries and some fantastic cups of tea.

 Yesterday was Canada Day and I started my day with Heavenly Creme Tea (My favorite from Neverland Tea Salon) in A Royal Adderley Cup and Saucer with the pattern Maple Leaf Tartan. This is one of my most favorite little sets as it is a demi tasse. Maple Leaf Tartan was created in 1964.  I just started Dressed To Kill By Hannah Reed. I put it on my table last week but I wanted to save it having this cup and saucer in mind for Canada Day and as I so enjoy this series I thought it would be a great way to spend my holiday weekend!

If you missed it yesterday I was so excited to share the first Chapter of A Toxic Trousseau, Juliet Blackwell's 13th book in this series which comes out July 5th. This was my favorite so far in the series and I can not wait for you all to read it!

It was a paranormal themed week for cozy mysteries this week on my table and the June release of Victoria Laurie's Psychic Eye Mysteries, Sense of Deception had so much to offer, suspense, fear, a couple of great mysteries and a really wonderful cast of characters.

Canadian Author Linda Wiken's new series Toasting Up Trouble spent a brief time on my table this week, the review will follow Monday!

Maggie Sefton's Purl Up and Die was also a June release that I enjoyed, even brought out my Celestial Seasoning's tea pot for my evening read!

So many great things to talk about with A Dark and Stormy Murder, if you have yet to order this one I say run to your store, or order on line you will not want to miss this first in series!

I also am so excited and thrilled to share that Read To Death comes out July 5th! I am so thrilled with this series and delighted to have lent my recipe to Terrie for the back of the book. I do hope you will give the series and my recipes a try! I can not wait to hear what you think about both!

In my cup all week this week I have been enjoying the new Twinings 90th Celebration tea. This afternoon tea is a blend of three commonwealth black teas and reminds me of a very high quality Darjeeling tea.  My sister in law purchased this for me and I am so grateful!
