I like the Diner feel and the recipes at the end. It is easy to get attached to the regular Diners as Gia does.

A Waffle Lot of Murder is a fun, well-plotted mystery with an autumn flair & a spotlight on friendship . . . Lena Gregory’s writing voice is engaging with an easy flow that keeps you hooked from beginning to end.

A Waffle Lot of Murder brings in the main characters but also introduces us to some new characters. I enjoyed seeing the dynamic friendships emerge from these new characters, but all the friendships revolve around one particular pointed question: How far are you willing to go for a friend? . . . This is the perfect cozy mystery book to “fall” into as we prep for spooky times this month.

If you want to get in a Halloween mood, A Waffle Lot of Murder will get you there fast. Even here in California with triple-digit heat, I still feel the brisk winds of Fall closing in.

G I F T E D} Enchantée by Gita Trelease | Review | Niffler Reads

For diner owner Gia Morelli, her seasonal fall menu calls for two main ingredients—maple syrup and murder . . .

While the first hints of autumn grace Boggy Creek, Florida, Gia misses the colorful harvest traditions she left behind in New York. On a scramble to make new fall memories—and promote her irresistible pumpkin spice waffles—things take a dark turn when she gets roped into the Haunted Town Festival, a spooky celebration held on deserted farmlands. The desolate area conjures plenty of eerie vibes at night, but Gia and her best friend, Savannah, are nearly frightened to death upon the discovery of the event organizer’s body buried in the nearby woods. More alarming, the local rumor mill says the woman’s shady dealings may have egged someone into sending her to an early grave. Now, there’s no shortage of creepy clues to feast on as Gia and her pals try to stop a killer with a very scary appetite . . .

Includes recipes from the All-Day Breakfast Café!

The characters are well rounded and well developed. I love the relationship between Gia and Savannah, they are more like sisters than friends. They are a dynamic duo when it comes to sleuthing, and they will have to do that to find a murderer. When they find the event organizer dead, they are on the case, much to the chagrin of their boyfriends.

The writing style flows smoothly and it defines the characters very clearly through their actions and words. The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and these descriptions pulled me into the story from the very beginning. Whether it was the descriptions of the Haunted Town Festival or the descriptions of some of Gia’s food, I was engaged throughout the entire book.

The mystery was intriguing and not easily solved. There were enough clues to sift through and suspects to consider, and I could not figure out who the culprit was.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well crafted cozy mystery. If you are looking for a great read, check this book out.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book provided by the publisher, Kensington Books, and NetGalley, which I greatly appreciate.
