The food truck craze has reached the charming coastal town of South Cove, California, but before Jill Gardner—owner of Coffee, Books, and More—can sample the eats, she has to shift gears and put the brakes on a killer . . .
Now that Kacey Austin has got her new gluten-free dessert truck up and running, there’s no curbing her enthusiasm—not even when someone vandalizes the vehicle and steals her recipes. But when Kacey turns up dead on the beach and Jill’s best friend Sadie becomes the prime suspect, Jill needs to step on it to serve the real killer some just desserts.

I was happy and excited to return to South Cove, California and visit Coffee Books and More once again. This small tourist haven and its colorful residents grows on you easily.
Close friends Jill and Amy are trying to find fresh activities for double dates. Geocaching is new to them. Amy's boyfriend, Justin, finds it exciting but Greg feels he follows enough clues on his job as a detective. Speaking of boyfriends, or relationships in general, they all seem to be in turmoil in this story. Which one is so misaligned it leads to murder?
The food truck that was in high demand in the previous book in this series has now been outfitted to provide specialized gluten free foods and is owned by the long estranged wife of local hippy surfer Dustin Austin. Was the food truck incentive enough for her to reconcile this mismatched couple? We'll never really know as wife, Kacey, dies before the business gets its first customer.
Of course, the spouse is always the first suspect. Or could it be a woman he was well acquainted with during his separation? Someone whose recipes were stolen or someone who felt she should have gotten the food truck?
Kacey's death investigation had more deadend clues than the geocaching club she was president of.
The writing in this series has a comfortable flow. I appreciate the clever phrasing.
Even if you have not read every previous book in the series you'll understand and appreciate lines such as "of course, finding a real dead body (at a murder mystery dinner) hadn't been in the plan..." Or "Why do the crazies always find you to play with?"
The one that made me smile most was the last question of the book.
It wasn't overly difficult to figure out who-dunnit but there were enough questions raised that it could have been someone unexpected. The enjoyment in the book is in all the twisted relationships.
Some of those conflicts may carry over. Which means I can look forward to visiting again.
I did receive this book in exchange for review.
