Review
Praise for the Novel Idea Mysteries
“[A] smart whodunit filled with well-drawn and interesting characters.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Cheer up—there’s no middle-aged malaise for Lila. This cozy debut, written by a pseudonymous duo, excels at describing bucolic North Carolina. Think Kate Carlisle for her intergenerational ensemble style or Mark de Castrique’s series for regional Tar Heel flavor.”—Library Journal
“This is a terrific Novel Idea Mystery with its contemporary literary crowd mingling with residents of a small North Carolina town…Lucy Arlington provides an entertaining thriller.”—Genre Go Round Reviews
“Will appeal to anyone who loves reading, especially anyone who loves discovering a new author.”—The Mystery Reader

Lila Wilkins, is a gem of a character appearing in the third segment of this series (A Novel Idea Mystery), who continues to be in the thick of everything without even trying. A small town that has unique quirks and mildly quirky individuals is completely believable and is the integrated setting for the arrival of rival chefs ready to show off their capabilities. The Novel Idea Literary Agency has decided to hold a festival called the Taste of the Town to showcase chefs they have represented. The dynamics become explosive quickly and the face each chef presents on television is revealed as a mask for a variety of ego failings and vicious competitive history.
Immediately, it is easy to see that Chef Klara Patrick has an abrasive personality that acts like a neon arrow proclaiming her a perfect murder victim. Yep, don't rely on that. After very few pages, who wouldn't sympathize with wanting her dead but she is not the guest chef who dies in an unfortunate accident.
While Inspiration Valley is turned on its side after an accident is declared a murder (a great and unexpected weapon of destruction), Lila scrambles to help salvage the Taste of the Town and help her boyfriend Officer Griffiths find the killer. As she continues her relationship with each of the chefs, Lila can see the seeds of betrayal, anger and hatred that each person has for Klara but is at a loss why the victim was the target.
Plunging the celebration into more confusion another murder happens and all the suspicions leave Lila feeling more urgent to discover the murderer. A natural at investigation, Ms.
