The Agatha Award–winning author of Wining and Dying returns to the Cookbook Nook, where a killer’s explosive vengeance may lead to Jenna Hart’s happily never after . . .

With Bride’s Dream Expo in town, it’s all things wedding in Crystal Cove, including at the Cookbook Nook, where owner Jenna Hart is preparing for her own wedding in just a few short weeks. But there’s a dark cloud hanging over the festive mood by the name of Sarita Strachline, a woman Jenna helped convict of arson who is now out of jail and bent on revenge. And when Jenna and Rhett’s intimate prenuptial dinner is rocked by an explosion that nearly takes Rhett’s life, Jenna can’t help but think Sarita is to blame.

Desperate to prove Sarita’s guilt but consumed by worries over Rhett’s condition, Jenna reluctantly lays her case out for the police and leaves the investigation in their methodical hands. Still, she can’t help piecing together the clues, and as the evidence begins to mount, Jenna realizes that revenge may be a dish best served cold, but she can cook up a scheme of her own to bring the culprit to justice—she just has to hope it doesn’t blow up in her face . . .

Includes mouthwatering recipes!

Praise for Daryl Wood Gerber and the Cookbook Nook Mysteries:

“There’s a feisty new amateur sleuth in town and her name is Jenna Hart. With a bodacious cast of characters, a wrenching murder, and a collection of cookbooks to die for, Daryl Wood Gerber’s Final Sentence is a page-turning puzzler of a mystery that I could not put down.” —Jenn McKinlay, New York Times bestselling author of the Cupcake Mysteries and Library Lovers Mysteries

“In Final Sentence, the author smartly blends crime, recipes, and an array of cookbooks that all should covet in a witty, well-plotted whodunit.” —Kate Carlisle, New York Times bestselling author of the Bibliophile Mysteries

“Readers will relish the extensive cookbook suggestions, the cooking primer, and the whole foodie phenomenon. Gerber’s perky tone with a multigenerational cast makes this series a good match for Lorna Barrett’s Booktown Mystery series . . .” —Library Journal

“So pull out your cowboy boots and settle in for a delightful read. Grilling the Subject is a delicious new mystery that will leave you hungry for more.” —Carstairs Considers Blog

Life is good. Jenna Hart is making the final arrangements for her wedding to Rhett.Business is brisk at the Cookbook Nook and the Nook Cafe with the Bride's Dream Expo taking place in Crystal Cove. As Jenna checks on the goodies at the show, she sees Sarita Strachline, the woman who burned down her own restaurant and skipped town, leaving Rhett to take the blame. Now she's back after her release from prison and she's a holding a grudge. Jenna is worried. I could understand why. The woman is vicious. When a bomb explodes at Intime and Rhett is injured, Jenna is convinced that Sarita was the culprit. Is she right? I wasn't sure neither was the Chief of Police. When Sarita is killed by an explosion on her sailboat, Jenna realizes that the cases are more complicated than she thought. Are they connected? There were many people who wanted Sarita dead. I knew that Jenna was going to investigate. She's still struggling with the bomb that almost killed Rhett. This was an exciting mystery that was filled with misdirection and unexpected twists. I worried if the wedding wouldn't take place. I enjoy coming to this beautiful setting. I feel as if I'm a member of the Crystal Cove family. I like the people. They are an interesting mix - just like real life. I know that Sheriff Cinnamon Pritchett is in a difficult position. She's Jenna's friend but she must also follow official protocol. Jenna doesn't make it easy. Simmering With Resentment is a great mystery. I always enjoy The Cookbook Nook Myster. Daryl Wood Gerber has a easy enjoyable writing style that keeps me entertained. I'm looking forward to more adventures.

Jenna and Rhett’s wedding is nearly upon them, with most major decisions and details taken care of; there always seem to be minor crises, of course, but Jenna was managing them fine until Rhett’s restaurant was bombed, and he was caught in the explosion. Thankfully, besides a concussion and some scrapes and bruises, he came through pretty well. But the puzzle remained over who had set the bomb; Jenna has her suspicions, the first being the former owner of The Grotto, who had been serving a prison sentence for theft, arson, and fraud. Recently released for good behavior, she’s back in Crystal Cove and no friend to Jenna and Rhett, who had been instrumental in her arrest. But Jenna must find another suspect when the woman is killed in an explosion on the boat she’d been renting. Can Jenna juggle finding the killer and putting out the wedding related fires without blowing her cool?

Wedding bells, booms or bust??

'Twas just weeks before Jenna's wedding to her delectable chef/fiance, and things are falling into place...until things start to go boom in the night. "Simmering with resentment" is a rich, delicious bowl of wedding plans and planners, books and bridal nerves, topped with a dollop of murder and mystery. Explosions on land and sea occupy Jenna's days and mind, with a plot that swirls like the frosting on the wedding cupcakes she hopes she'll soon be enjoying. Followers of the series will be happy to see their favorite characters are all present as guests of the nuptials, the groom a bit battered and bruised, and Jenna up to her bridal veil in solving the latest murder to rock the town. A most excellent and worthy addition to the Cookbook Nook series, and plenty of recipes at the end to satisfy the pickiest of wedding guests and readers.

Cookbook Nook series is great!

I have been waiting for this new book in the CookbookNook series since I finished the last one. Jenna is co-owner of the cookbook store, and is planning her wedding when her fiancé is hurt during a homemade bomb blast at his restaurant. Several other incidents lead Jenna to talk about postponing the wedding but Rhett, her fiancé, isn’t in favor. Although Jenna has her mind made up the bomb was the work of a disagreeable woman recently back in town, she finds clues that don’t fit. This is another great book in the series by this author. While this could be read as a stand-alone book, I would suggest reading the series from the beginning.

If anything could go wrong

In this book, anything and everything that could go wrong did. There was an explosion at There's restaurant that put him in the hospital. A woman was blown up on her own boat and wedding plans were falling apart all over. This book really had me hoping trying to figure it all out. I loved it!

The co-owner of the Cookbook Nook in Crystal Cove, Jenna Hart, is almost done with planning her wedding to local restaurateur Rhett Baxter. With just a few weeks to go she is instead able to enjoy this year's Bride's Dream Expo at the nearby community college from afar, while concentrating on the related activities and products in the bookstore with her Aunt Vera. All that changes however when a woman she and Rhett helped convict of arson arrives back in town obviously unforgiving towards them both and that's without the threats and explosions!

Local police chief Cinnamon Pritchett is used to having assistance from her book loving friend - whether she wants it or not! This time however, with her wedding plans beginning to crumble, and worries of her own to contend with, Jenna is trying desperately to stay in the background. If locals go out of their way to talk to her though, who is she to stop them as long as she passes everything on, of course?

Although I have read other great books by this author, and this is the eleventh of the Cookbook Nook Mystery Series, it is, regrettably, my first visit to Crystal Cove, but not my last! There is a list of characters at the front but I didn't feel the need to check it as everyone was introduced and described clearly. For a cosy mystery the crimes themselves were quite shocking but the whole case was very well done and I enjoyed trying to work out whodunnit while also visiting the Dream Bride's Expo and learning about Jenna and Rhett’s wedding menu.

My only reservation, as a new reader, was the two main protagonists didn't have as defined an identity in their community as I expected, beyond their respective business owner roles. I may feel differently after reading their previous adventures which I definitely intend to do. I have recommended other cosy crime books with one or two recipes included but here there are fourteen! These range from canapés, through main courses and desserts, to cocktails, all of which sounded very nice indeed.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. I enjoyed it immensely, especially as there is no need to have read the previous books. It provides a very nice place to escape to.
