Pricilla Crumb has a problem. She's been asked by her son, Nathan, the owner of a hunting lodge in Rendezvous, Colorado, to fill in for his chef who's come down with West Nile virus. Whipping up a fabulous meal for guests at the hunting lodge isn't problematic for the culinary-gifted widow. But trying to explain why one of them dropped dead after sampling one of her salmon-filled tartlets proves to be a little more challenging. After a hurried autopsy, the results come back. The good news is that it wasn't Pricilla's cooking that killed Charles Woodruff. The bad news is that he was definitely murdered - and a killer may still be lurking among the remaining guests at the lodge. To add to the confusion, Pricilla's long-time friend Max may want more than just friendship - something that Pricilla isn't sure she's comfortable with. However, romance does seem to be blooming between Trisha, Max's daughter, and Nathan. That is until Nathan is suspected of murder!

I truly enjoyed this fun-filled mystery. I especially liked Pricilla's plan to coax a confession from several suspects using her fabulous homemade beef stew. Forget passé police interrogation techniques - Pricilla's cuisine reigns supreme! Lisa Harris has mixed together just the right ingredients in "Recipe for Murder." She blends a heaping helping of mystery, an overflowing cup of romance, a generous pinch of humor and creates a charming novel that readers will love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, March 17, 2011

Yes, its a christian book - what do you expect when the author is a christian missionary in South Africa? She doesn't hit you over the head with her Christianity, and its woven nicely into an extremely interesting tale of murder and love affairs. The people writing bad reviews for this book are just mad because they didn't do their homework before buying.

This was an interesting book with lots of twists and turns in the plot. I liked the Christian influence in the story line and the hunting lodge setting. I would like to read more cozy mysteries like this one.
