KILLER RECIPE is book 2 of Jeulia Hesse’s Stone House Inn series, and an entertaining and intriguing romantic suspense.
I would have really enjoyed this book if two things had happened. I didn’t realize this was number two in the series plus if there had been more storylines with the inn and her cooking.
Never read anything by this author, but I'm glad I did. This was a romance, but with a lot of suspense. The romance doesn't detract from the suspense and likewise with the suspense. It doesn't detract from the romance. It is the best of both worlds. So, whether you are fan of romance or a fan of suspense there is much to find in this book that will appeal to you.
