The Real Gyro
A new food truck parks near Dogs on the Roll and serves up murder...
When a new food truck opens near Dogs on the Roll, Maeve is worried about the effect it’ll have on her business. She wishes the owner would just go away, but that doesn’t mean she’s happy when they’re found murdered in their locked truck.
Maeve sniffs around and finds a clever killer who’s been using the truck for more than selling food. Even as she’s distracted by thoughts of adding a second food truck to her fledgling business, Maeve finds herself mixed up in a plot with global repercussions.

Maeve is ready to purchase and open a 2nd food truck. So she sets out interviewing for a new employee to help her out when Land goes to run the new truck. One of the people she rejected, Janelle, decides to open her own food truck in an attempt to ruin Dogs on a Roll. In no time at all, she is murdered and a espionage plot emerges. Maeve wants to solve the locked-room food truck mystery and clear the truck from police custody so she can buy it and follow her dream.
The Maeve & Danvers romance/not romance should just be ended. As the series goes on, I find him, not a jerk, but not really nice. (that sounds lame). Then again, how can you blame him for getting angry/annoyed with Maeve when she has a knack of stumbling upon murders and conspiracies!
Can't wait to see if double the food trucks means double the murders!?

Enjoyable enough.
One thing that is a little perplexing is that Maeve keeps saying that she doesn't know anything about Land, even though we steadily learn a little bit more about him with each book...
I do like the fact that Maeve's business is growing, and tine actually moves, instead of just staying in the rut of the food truck forever in one season. Time passes and there are life changes for the characters.
Decent little cozy mystery.
(I must say, I never expected the crazily detailed murder scenes when I first picked up this series.)

Het vierde deel van de Food Truck Mysteries.
Maeve krijgt concurrente: als ze iemand afwijst, die komt solliciteren naar een baan in haar foodtruck, is deze persoon beledigd en begint haar eigen foodtruck, vlak bij die van Maeve. Ook probeert ze Land, de chef van Maeve, over te halen voor haar te komen werken. Ook op andere manieren probeert ze Maeve dwars te zitten
Dan, plotseling, wordt ze dood aangetroffen in haar afgesloten truck.
Maeve, en inspecteur Danvers, lossen de zaak op.
Een enkele onverwachte wending maakte he verhaal leesbaar, maar echt geweldig werd het niet.

Too much chick likes boyS airhead stuff, not enough actual mystery, too murder she wrote without the actual satisfaction of a somewhat well written cozy/murder mystery, and I don't have overly high expectations of cozy mysteries to begin with. Didn't get around due to a move to reading the previously bought 1-5 set nor the 6-10 set, now really wish had just put off using my amazon gift cards for other books and waiting to get it all on kindle unlimited. Have a couple of other freebie books from same author, doubtful will get around to them anytime soon.

Series is getting better, whether because the writing is better or because I'm becoming more accustomed to Kendrick's style, I can't say. There are some grammatical errors still, but they're not as pervasive.
In The Real Gyro, Maeve has some competition with a new truck on the block called Waiting for a Gyro (neat puns in these names)...until the owner ends up dead. Well, Maeve had tried to purchase that truck before, so she's a suspect in Danvers' eyes. Land is working with Danvers on an undercover surveillance mission, which leaves him exhausted, but Maeve gets the chance to purchase the truck, doubling her fleet size. Land gets the new truck and tries out his basque cuisine, and they hire a helper who mostly helps out in the new truck after training in the Dogs on a Roll truck.
As always, lots going on, and the end just zips up so quickly...almost too abruptly after the pace of the rest of the book, what with repeating thoughts going through Maeve's head and everything.

This is the fourth book in the series, they do need to be read in order for complete understanding. This series is about different murders that occur in and around our lead's food truck. The stories are entertaining and will keep you guessing on who will be next to die, and be guilty of murder. I do struggle with her helping the police and getting in the way of every crime scene, but that is a book for you!

This was really good. In this book, Maeve finally gets a second truck, but the route to getting the truck is half the battle. Finding who killed the previous owner and why is the other half. There is also all the interplay between Maeve and Dectective Dancers - will they or won't they ever resolve their personal feelings? Just read the book. You know you want to...

I really really like this series!! I am disappointed how it just ends right after you find out the "killer"... Like here's who did it..here's two paragraphs and bam End of book..but with that said I can't wait for more to come!!

I loved this book just like I have all the previous ones! I was looking for more insight to Land tho since the previous book had been more insightful with his background. Can't wait to start the next one! Great series!

Who did it
I had a good time reading this book. The main characters keep growing and the addition of peripheral charters keeps it interesting

#4 in the Food Truck Mysteries Series. 1 and 2 were good. 3 was awful. 4 was good. moved along and kept my attention.

If you go in realizing you have to suspend disbelief, (why is it just assumed she is going to investigate crimes?!), they are a good way to pass the time.

This is the 4th book out of 14 in this series. In my opinion, these are best to read as the series instead of stand alone. This one did a better job of cleaning up loose ends. There is some intrigue in this series. What I'm trying to say is that it is getting better and better.
