Blurb:


The last thing I expected during Bramble Dale’s big debut cook-off was a dead food critic face-first in a plate of my best friends winning but fatal almond chicken.
It was and accident because she wouldn’t poison him on purpose. 
Really?
Now I’m knee-deep in flour, lies, and a whole lot of bad alibis, trying to figure out who really wanted this foodie dead.
Between his baking co-star girlfriend stealing the show and a rival food critic cutting into his review columns this harsh baking judge had more enemies than a guy could choke on.
With my pet detective yellow Lab, Peanut, and my dangerously handsome crush, I’m out to uncover the truth one dish at a time.
Between stolen recipes, missing tapes, and shady chefs, things in Bramble Dale are heating up.
I have to find a killer fast or I might be the next one served cold in the morgue and my bestie will be cooking up lunch in the prison cafeteria.

My Review:

Murder Served Cold captivated me from the first page and pulled me deep into its world with its myriad twists and turns, leaving me gasping with each one. In particular, the unexpected major twist left my mouth hanging open in surprise.

Chloe’s best friend, Rosie, enters a cooking contest and is very careful to follow all the rules. Rosie becomes the number one suspect when a famous food critic, Greg Winters, who is judging the contest, falls dead during the event right after tasting Rosie’s dish.

Chloe and her yellow lab, Peanut, are on the case, as she is determined not to let Rosie take the fall for something she didn’t do. Chloe and Peanut’s investigation reveals many twists and turns, along with the numerous people who didn’t like Greg.

I must say I truly enjoyed reading Murder Served Cold far more than I expected, even though I had no doubt I would love it before I began reading. I don’t need to read a summary of a book by Daisy Belle to know I want to read it or will enjoy it. Daisy writes the most engaging and riveting stories that keep you in suspense from the first page to the last.

I can’t wait to read the next tantalizing story in the Chloe Lane Cozy Mystery series. I highly recommend Murder Served Cold to all cozy mystery fans! Grab a copy of Murder Served Cold today!
