Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Josie!" Aunt Linda's high-pitched drawl soared like a heat-seeking missile up the wooden stairs from our restaurant below, through my quaint living room and into my sweet but tiny bedroom.
There are three things Aunt Linda and Uncle Eddie have in common with tamales: they're unpretentious, comforting, and fattening when consumed in excess.
So would you read this cozy mystery? I already like the sounds of this one. Can't you just hear Aunt Lydia?
I'll have a review when I have finished. And thanks again to Beth Fish Reads and Penguin Random House.
Oh yes that sounds like a great opening for a cosy mystery - Happy reading and well done for winning.
