A Dish to Die For A Key West Food Critic Mystery No. 12
New Yrk: Crooked Lane. As New in As New dust jacket. 2022. First Edition. Hardcover. 279 pages. Peace and quiet are hard to find in bustling Key West so Hayley Snow food critic for Key Zest magazine is taking the afternoon off for a tranquil lunch with a friend outside of town. As they are enjoying the wild beach and the lunch she realizes that her husband Nathan's dog Ziggy has disappeared. She follows his barking to find him furiously digging at a shallow grave with a man's body in it. Davis Jager a local birdwatcher identifies him as GG Garcia a rabble-rousing Key West local and developer. Garcia was famous for over-development on the fragile Keys womanizing and refusing to follow city rules -- so it's no wonder he had a few enemies. When Davis is attacked in the parking lot of a local restaurant after talking to Hayley and her dear friend the octogenarian Miss Gloria Hayley is slowly but surely drawn into the case. Hayley's mother Janet has been hired to cater GG's memorial service reception at the local Woman's Club using recipes from their vintage Key West cookbook -- and Hayley and Miss Gloria sign on to work with her hoping to cook up some clues by observing the mourners. But the real clues appear when Hayley begins to study the old cookbook as whispers of old secrets come to life dragging the past into the present -- with murderous results. . Crooked Lane hardcover

GOODNIGHT IRENE AWARD FINALIST
NY: Simon & Schuster 1993. First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. Reporter Irene Kelly's first appearance. An AGATHA AND ANTHONY AWARD FINALIST for Best First Novel. "Set in the fictional Southern California town of Las Piernas this generally exciting debut mystery--the first of a projected series--brims with brutality but is slowed at times by home and hospital bedside scenes. Former reporter Irene Kelly now working in public relations is shocked when her friend O'Connor is killed by a bomb hidden in a package. The only clue Irene can unearth is O'Connor's obsession with a long-unsolved crime involving an unidentified female body discovered in Las Piernas years before. Rehired by the Las Piernas Express Irene teams up with ex-lover and homicide cop Frank Harriman to crack the case but details of what O'Connor had learned about the killing are long in coming. Burke punctuates her too leisurely exposition with graphic effective scenes of murder and attempted murder although she depicts the menacing assassins more as machines than as human beings and provides a plausible explanation for all the violence only at her story's very end. Still she writes with remarkable sensitivity about the physical and spiritual reactions of people terrorized by cold-blooded killers and her gift for characterization somewhat compensates for her still-rudimentary pacing skills." -- Publishers Weekly.

In GRACE KING: A SOUTHERN DESTINY Robert Bush tells of King's life and her art
When she began her writing career in 1886 it was out of a sense of anger at what she saw as George Washington Cable's disloyalty to the South his deliberately false portrayal of New Orleans' Creoles and blacks. King was herself a conservative in racial matters and a number of her stories celebrate the loyalty she had observed freed slaves showing their former masters.". Signed by Author on half title page.
