When a food convention turns fatal, Tiffany Austin will have to cook up a scheme to catch a killer . . .The national Foodie Fest is in town and food blogger Tiffany Austin is thrilled to report on the event, even if it means crossing paths with an arrogant and annoying chef from her past. The man can’t help boasting of his success, but he also lets slip to Tiffany that he’s publishing a tell-all memoir that will be filled with scandalous secrets about many people in the food industry. It’s a risky career move, and maybe just plain risky, as Tiffany discovers later that day when she finds the chef’s dead body mere steps from the convention center.
With any number of reputations and careers at stake if the chef’s memoir were ever published, Tiffany realizes virtually everyone at the event is a suspect. Wending her way through the convention crowd in her guise as a reporter, she cautiously questions as many of the participants as she can, hoping to unearth a telling clue or a false alibi. Because while everyone has a skeleton or two in the closet, Tiffany knows someone at the food fest has a secret they’d kill to protect—and would kill for again if she gets too close to the truth . . .
Includes scrumptious Foodie Fest recipes!

My Thoughts
A Dish Best Served Dead by T.C. LoTempio is a cute cozy mystery. I liked
Tiffany, the main character, who is a chef turned food blogger. I liked her cameraman and sleuthing sidekick,
Jimmy. The pair make a great team. The food descriptions will have your mouth
watering. Tiffany’s bestie was grateful (I’m
surprised she did not sit up and beg) for the doggy bags that Tiffany brought
home from Foodie Fest (there are recipes for a couple of the dishes at the end
of the book). The whodunit involved a
man who I was surprised had lived as long as he had (he made a lot of
enemies). There is no shortage of
suspects. The detective in charge of the
case is Tiffany’s love interest who tells her often to stay out of the case,
though, he does appreciate the helpful information that she shares with him. A Dish Best Served Dead is the third A Tiffany Austin Food Blogger Mystery and it can easily be read as a standalone. I hope that Jimmy will make a return
appearance in future books in the series.
A Dish Best Served Dead is fun foodie mystery with a conceited chef, an
aloof assistant, a pleasant photographer partner, scrumptious cuisine, an
admonishing detective, a surplus of suspects, and a killer with a pistol.
