Day 1
6 of our month of giveaways and today we have up for grabs the third book in this great series by Liz Lipperman:
A sports writing job would have been the perfect catch for Jordan McAllister, but in Ranchero, Texas, all she could reel in was the food column. Though she may not know her way around a kitchen, she has no trouble finding herself in a kettle of fish…
Tempted by the offer of a free Caribbean cruise, Jordan accepts a spot as a judge in a week-long big-time cooking competition aboard the Carnation Queen. She just better hope no one finds out that her famous palate is far from refined.
But there are bigger fish to fry when arrogant chef Stefano Mancini falls face first into his signature halibut dish during the first event. While evidence suggests that the handsome Italian chef’s death was an accident, Jordan thinks otherwise. But she’ll have to keep her wits about her—and the sea sickness pills handy—if she’s going to solve this one…

This sounds like such a fun series!
This sounds like a marvelous read. I enjoy culinary cozy mysteries and I recommend Claudia Bishop’s Hemlock Hall series. Murder for the Halibut sounds like it would be just as much fun.

Here’s hoping I win! Always looking for a new series.
This book is right up my alley–it sounds great!

My favorite culinary cozy mysteries are Jenn McKinlay’s Cupcake Mysteries – just love them from start to finish!
I love this series. I have read all the reviews on this book and from what i hear its an amazing adventure and laugh out loud.
So much fun in one book; I would love this, absolutely love it. There is nothing like a good cozy and some laughter to help me survive the winter!
I love culinary cozies, but I’m new to the genre. I think so far my favorites have been Lucy Burdette’s Death in Four Courses and Julie Hyzy’s State of the Onion. I’d love this one; I’ve read great things about it on Goodreads and elsewhere!
My fave – all time – the Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries by Philip Craig.
So many of the culinary cozies are great… Julie Hyzy’s, Diane Mott Davidson, the old ones by Lou Jane Temple…. Hoping I win this one!
Sounds like a great new series to try.
Would love to read this one. These giveaways just make my day everyday!
thanks,
Sounds like a great read. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I really like this series and I’m ready to read #3! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Some other culinary mystery series I like that haven’t been mentioned yet are those by Katherine Hall Page (Body in the… series), Claudia Bishop (Hemlock Falls mysteries), Joanne Pence (Angie Amalfi), Peter King (Gourmet Detective), Michael Bond (M. Pamplemousse)…
Would love to win this one, I read liver let die and it was great.
I love the Julie Hyzy culinary mysteries. I know this book is a good one. Liz writes a fun book.
I can’t wait to read this book.
This is a great series. My favorite foodie mysteries are the ones by Dianne Mott Davidson.
Sounds like another great book. Thanks for the giveaway!
Favorite culinary mysteries are by Joanne Fluke, one of my favorite cozy writers.
I like Jessica Beck’s donut shop mysteries. I’d like to win Murder for the Halibut (great title!) and pretend I’m on a Caribbean cruise!
A chance to win yet another great cozy! Thank you.

I have her “Liver” book but I haven’t read it yet… I am one of those book collectors who pick up books that look interesting and then buy it and add it to my stack o books to read! Love to read books with food (ie Fluke, Davidson & Coyle. The recipes added really pull me in!!
This looks like a fun book, thanks for the chance to win!
I really like Jenn McKinlay’s cupcake mystery series and the recipes in Joanne Fluke’s Lake Eden mysteries are good too.
Fun title
Starting to realize that the food “cozies” are my favorite – would love to win this one!
i don’t have a favorite, maybe this will be it!
This sounds like a great book. A sports writer become food critic turned amateur detective? Sounds like there might be plenty of grins and giggles to be had.
Sounds like a great series, hope i win. Livia J Washburn writes a good series called Fresh-Baked Mysteries, Peach of a Murder is the first book.
I’ve enjoyed so many it’s hard to just point out a few. I’m a big fan of Julie Hyzy’s White House Chef series, I’ve enjoyed Jenn McKinlay’s Cupcake Bakery mysteries, and I’d have to rank the Clueless Cook Mysteries right up there. I just finished Beef Stolen-Off this past weekend.
thanks for chance
death by fish… ew!
love culinary series, I read several of them…never can pick a favorite one it’s like asking which child you like best.
I would love to win this book. Haven’t read anything by this author yet.
Sorry, I don’t have a favorite, but I do love cruise ships and food. Great combination! Thanks for the chance to read this!
Lost and Fondue by Avery AAmes is a must-read!
One of my favorite series is the Cupcke Mysteries by Jenn MacKinlay.

At the moment I don’t have a favourite maybe I will find one this year
Sounds like a good read. Love these food books especially those by Joanne Fluke, Jenn McKinlay, Julie Hyzy, Cleo Coyle
Sounds like a great read. I just enjoyed Plum Pudding Murder by Joanne Fluke and enjoyed it.
Food cozy mysteries are one of my favorites since I love to cook too. I have tried many of the recipes I have read about. One of our favorite cookie recipes is from Joanne Fluke. I really like the series by Julie Hyzy and Avery Aames
I love the title of this book–for some reason the ugly halibut just makes the title a little cozier. I also particularly enjoy Avery Ames cheese shop mysteries and her good cheese recipes.

I actually can’t think of a single culinary cozy mystery that I’ve read. I have several on my TBR list but none on my read list. I’ll have to remedy that. Most of my cozy mysteries are librarians and such, but not a single chef.

Joanne Fluke is one of my favs, though there are many!
Great title. Sounds like a good book;
Wow for all the food titled books out there … making me hungry to read them!
Yes. Hungry to read this.
Love TX based books & Diane Mott Davidson culinary books.
Would love to read this.
I’ve never read any but I really would like to. I’ve been seeing a lot of them on book blogs lately.
