Today is publication day for SMFS list member Leslie
Budewitz’s new book, To Err is Cumin: A Spice Shop Mystery. This
is the eighth book in the series that originally started with Assault and
Pepper. Published by Seventh
Street Books, the book is out today in multiple formats at Amazon
and other vendors.
Amazon Description:
One
person’s treasure is another’s trash. . .
Pepper Reece, owner of the Spice Shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, wants
nothing more than to live a quiet life for a change, running her shop and
working with customers eager to spice up their cooking. But when she finds an
envelope stuffed with cash in a ratty old wingback left on the curb, she sets
out to track down the owner.
Pepper soon concludes that the chair and its stash may belong to young Talia
Cook, new in town and nowhere to be seen. Boz Bosworth, an unemployed chef
Pepper’s tangled with in the past, shows up looking for the young woman, but
Pepper refuses to help him search. When Boz is found floating in the Ship
Canal, only a few blocks from Talia’s apartment, free furniture no longer seems
like such a bargain.
On the hunt for Talia, Pepper discovers a web of connections threatening to
ensnare her best customer. The more she probes, the harder it gets to tell
who’s part of an unsavory scheme of corruption—and who might be the next victim.
Between her quest for an elusive herb, helping her parents remodel their new
house, and setting up the Spice Shop’s first cooking class, Pepper’s got a full
plate. Dogged by a sense of obligation to find the rightful owner of the hidden
treasure, she keeps on showing up where she’s not wanted, asking probing
questions.
One mistake, and she could find herself cashing out. . .
