Thanks for the lead on a new series, Marye! The library had them, and I read the first and have the second on hold.
One of the first “cooking and murder” authors was a lady named Virginia Rich. She wrote three books in the early 1980’s. The first one is “The Cooking School Murders”, the second is “The Baked Bean Supper Murders” and the last is “The Nantucket Diet Murders”. She died shortly after the last was released.
OH! I just did a quick search and discovered someone else wrote two more books using the author’s notes…I’ll have to track those down and see if they are any good…

I’ve read one of the coffehouse mysteries, and own two more – just haven’t gotten to them yet.

I love Joanne Fluke’s books also – have read all of them. Her next book comes out in 2009.

You know, these series could turn into a book club! read the book, pick a recipe. Could be fun!

I have not seen these, but I have read the Tea Shop mysteries. Another one that I love is the series by Joanne Fluke. They are murder mysteries and the titles are always food, the latest one was Carrot Cake. These books have recipes in them as well. How can you go wrong, really? Mystery and recipes…perfect!

The teashop mysteries are by Laura Childs…she also has a scrapbooking mystery series and another one due out later in the year. Then you have Susan Wittig Alberts herb series that does include a teashop, and recipes in the back…
