This is a culinary themed mystery.

Amelia Harley is a recently divorced mother of two who is embarking on a food truck business. Shortly after beginning her stint in the food truck area, a man is stabbed. The nephew of a fellow food truck owner is arrested, but Amelia doesn't believe he is guilty despite his past. This leads her to investigate several leads that she uncovers.

This was a fun read and the characters are well done, though, as with all culinary themed mystery series, I do wonder how long the author can realistically keep it going. In real life, if a baker was constantly having dead bodies around her, I think people would be hesitant to buy cupcakes from her. ( )

Amelia opens a cupcake food truck after her divorce. Her ex is not happy about it. A few weeks after her opening a body is discovered in the bushes at Food Truck Alley. The police question everyone and make an arrest but Amelia does not believe they have the right person. She does a little investigation on her own.

This is a good set up for this series. The main characters are introduced. I like Amelia and her kids, Meg and Adam. They are a strong family unit. Her ex, John, is a jerk but we do need one of those to roll our eyes at and to cheer Amelia on to continue her food truck. I like the secondary characters. I cannot wait to find out Lila's, her employee, story. I'll bet it's a doozy as is Lila. I hope to see more of Mrs. Vega and her family in future books. They and Amelia watch out for each other. I liked her best friend Catherine. This is going to be a good cast of characters and we'll see if Lila is right about the detective.

The story was quick and light. The mystery was believable. I didn't solve to almost the end. The explanation was very welcome.

I look forward to more of this series. ( )
