Chili to Die for (a Willow Crier Cozy Mystery Book 1) - Paperback

by Lilly York (Author)

A northerner by birth, Willow moves south when she inherits her grandfather's ice cream shop. From the slow southern dialect to the crazy drivers, Willow finds herself at odds with what most call "southern charm." She becomes obsessed with cook-offs and bake-offs, wanting those trophies for her mantle. With the chili cook-off just around the corner, Willow manages to provoke one of the judges to a fit of road rage. When that judge ends up face down, dead, in a bowl of Willow's chili, police chief Grice looks to the newest town resident as his number one suspect. Willow must find out who wanted Ms. Delonda Posey dead before the good citizens of Turtle, OK run her Yankee bottom out of town.

Author Biography

Lilly York (aka Darlene Shortridge, author of Contemporary Christian Fiction) is a transplanted northerner living in the southwest with her husband, children, grandchild, and adopted dog, Clover. Her many experiences in learning the southern way of doing things have been the basis for the Willow Crier Cozies. Including but not limited to drivers honking, making obscene gestures, and yes, even the scene at the beginning of the book, fictionalized, of course. Make sure all ya'll try the chili recipe at the back of the book, because it really did win a chili cook-off! Visit her at LillyYork.com
