Join us to discuss a different cozy mystery on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Leonardtown Library. Be ready to talk about a genre that puts us all at ease while keeping us on our toes.
Just in time for Maryland Day (March 25th), we’ll be discussing a cozy mystery that’s set in Maryland AND written by a Maryland-based author. See if there are any locations or examples of classic Maryland-life that you recognize!
The book for this month is Murder with Fried Chicken & Waffles (2015) by A.L. Herbert.
The first book in the Mahalia Watkins Soul Food Mysteries welcomes you to Mahalia's Sweet Tea--the finest soul food restaurant in Prince George's County, Maryland. In between preparing her famous cornbread and mashed potatoes so creamy "they'll make you want to slap your Momma," owner Halia Watkins is about to dip her spoon into a grisly mystery when a local entrepreneur turns up dead in her kitchen. Too bad her efforts accidentally make her younger cousin the prime suspect. Now Halia will have to serve up the real villain before the killer returns for a second helping.
