About Cooking up a Mystery

Cooking up a Mystery combines a mystery with a touch of romance, humor, faith and forgiveness.

In the story, Laney Eskridge is on edge from emotional scars from her parents’ deaths and her husband’s infidelity and abandonment. Then she hears unexplained noises in her new tea house, and her anxiety is tripled. Add a budding romance with Eric—a guy with a fear of commitment—and it's all too much to handle. She cuts ties with Eric and works to make her business pay off, but he discovers she’s in danger and wants to help. Little could they know they would overhear a threat that could cause a national turmoil.

Even though I come from a long line of Southern gourmet cooks, I didn’t think of writing a culinary book until I met a newspaper faith editor who suggested we complete a project together. She had written a cookbook for a charity, Mission Love Seeds, which supports children, and we saw Cooking up a Mystery as a perfect fit for my culinary upbringing and her recipes.

In addition to the mystery in the heroine’s tea house kitchen, there are two dozen plus recipes, all supplied by members of Mission Love Seeds, in the back of the book, so it’s double the fun. The recipe headings have the name of a character in the book with a byline of the person who submitted it at the end.
