The Solace of Bay Leaves
The Solace of Bay Leaves | Leslie Budewitz
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Pepper Reece never expected to find solace in bay leaves. But when her life fell apart at forty and she bought the venerable-but-rundown Spice Shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, her days took a tasty turn. Now she’s savoring the prospect of a flavorful fall and a busy holiday cooking season, until danger bubbles to the surface . . . Between managing her shop, worrying about her staff, and navigating a delicious new relationship, Pepper’s firing on all burners. But when her childhood friend Maddie is shot and gravely wounded, the incident is quickly tied to an unsolved murder that left another close friend a widow. Convinced that the secret to both crimes lies in the history of a once-beloved building, Pepper uses her local-girl contacts and her talent for asking questions to unearth startling links between the past and present—links that suggest her childhood friend may not have been the Golden Girl she appeared to be. Pepper is forced to face her own regrets and unsavory emotions, if she wants to save Maddie’s life—and her own.

What I loved it about this book is that it brings me back to a memories of a family trip we took which included a week stay in Seattle.I could picture the hustle & bustle of Pike Place Market where Pepper runs a spice shop.She investigates the attempted murder of her childhood friend,which is linked to a past unsolved murder.As a result, she explores of her own past & the history of the building that is the crime scene. #SpiceShop Mysteries

The murder mystery is complex and requires a lot of digging.
