Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier, national bestseller Lucy Burdette's eighth Key West Food Critic mystery sees the return of fan-favorite food critic Hayley Snow, who must once again get to the bottom of a bitter murder.

When a killer strikes just before flan time, beloved food critic Hayley Snow is forced to sniff out the killer before someone else bites the dust.

Hayley Snow, fiery food critic for Key Zest magazine, has just landed a ticket to one of the most prestigious events in Key West: a high-brow three-day conference at the Harry Truman Little White House. Even though she’ll be working the event helping her mother’s fledgling catering business, there’s plenty of spicy gossip to go around. But just before her mother’s decadent flan is put to the test, Key West’s most prized possession, Hemingway’s Nobel prize gold medal for The Old Man and the Sea, is discovered stolen from its case.

Unsavory suspicions point to Gabriel, a family friend and one of the new busboys working the event, who mysteriously goes missing moments later. Anxious to clear his name, Gabriel’s family enlists Hayley to help find him, but right as they begin their search, his body is found stabbed to death in the storeroom.

Hayley has no shortage of suspects to interrogate and very little time before the killer adds another victim to the menu in national bestselling author Lucy Burdette’s delectable eighth Key West Food Critic mystery, Death on the Menu.

Review

Another beautifully crafted novel by a master of the genre...unreservedly recommended for community library mystery/suspense collections.

-- "Midwest Book Reviews"

Burdette's loving descriptions of food and the appended recipes are an added fillip for readers who enjoy some history and romance with their mysteries.

-- "Kirkus Reviews"

Hayley Snow is one of my favorite amateur sleuths...This was a fabulous peril in paradise read that I simply could not put down.

I had forgotten what a fabulous writer Lucy was. This is a great read , perfect for a lock down afternoon and brimming with Florida memories. Lucy so intelligently manages to capture the Cuba immigrant issues, food heaven and a light fun caper all at once. Delightful. Her knowledge about food , tarot and Hemmingway is brilliant. Hayley Snow is my heroine. I shall toast this novel when I make the mojito cocktail tonight !

Preposterous.....

Reviewed in the United States on 20 August 2018

I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series, but this one is not even in the realm of possibility. I find it hard to believe that a brand new, fledgling catering company would be hired for an event of this significance with people like former President Obama in attendance. THEN add the crime that occurs in a locale swarming with Secret service, other security, police etc....just no. I am trying to decide if part of the reason I am not nuts about this book is because the subject matter is a bit heavier than I care to ponder when reading a cozy. I am only 40% finished and just may have to stop reading. I suggest starting with the earlier books in this series....they are way more fun.

Can I Get My Money Back???

Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2019

I’ve always enjoyed this series for its lightheartedness. This is nothing more than political commentary on Cuba, immigration and fawning over President Obama, the last thing I’d expect from this series, not interested in any of these topics if I’m reading a cozy. I stopped after 6 chapters, no thank you.

Disappointing comeback to this series

Reviewed in the United States on 18 February 2019

Verified Purchase

I was excited when I saw that after a gap in this series, there was another addition. However, quickly upon starting it I became disappointed in the series that I loved because of the quirky Key West characters and description of the town. Pretty much it's a political book about Cuba and American relations. Also, it is completely unbelievable that her mother, who is new to the Key West community, would be able to book a huge catering gig with Cuban politicians and former President Obama. I know this is fiction, but come one. I missed the food critic side of this series, the strangeness that the regular Key West characters added, and the feel of Florida. I may read the next in hopes that it returns to it's roots....

Wonderful Key West Food Critic Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2018

Verified Purchase

A wonderful Key West Food Critic Mystery with captivating characters, a great mystery that quickly became a page turner, interesting suspects, twists and turns that kept me entertained and intrigued from the first page to the last. Written in the first person, I felt like Hayley was talking directly to me and I loved her dynamic with the other characters, especially her octogenarian houseboat roommate, Miss Gloria and her boyfriend Nathan Bransford, detective with the Key West Police Department.

Even though this is the eighth book in the series, it is the first one I have read and I had no trouble reading it as a standalone. This is a must-read for fans of well-crafted cozy mysteries and you even get a bonus of delicious Cuban recipes. I received an advance reader copy of DEATH ON THE MENU, and this is my unbiased review.
