Pressing the Issue (A Cookbook Nook Mystery)
by Daryl Wood Gerber
The coastal California setting of Crystal Cove is vividly conveyed, making its beach and shops a place I’d love to visit. But the real setting, one that literally becomes a major character, is the Renaissance Festival. Food, crafts, theater, costumes, faire speak … the author does a great job of conveying the essence of the fair and enveloping readers in its atmosphere.
~The Power of Words
Ms. Gerber always seems to know how to mix the right ingredients that will create a well-written and entertaining mystery and Pressing The Issue is a shining example of this.
~Moonlight Rendezvous
This delightful read is the perfect addition for fans of bookish or culinary cozies and I look forward to spending some more time with Jenna at her nook!
~That’s What She’s Reading
This book is worth more than five stars, it has all the angles and suspects a mystery fan could ask for. Jenna is on her A++ game in this book, and there is the perfect balance of murderous dark moments, and bright rosy light moments.
~Bibliophile Reviews
I was absolutely charmed with the setting, the characters, and so much more in this particular book. I found delightful surprises regarding some of the backstories of the various characters, and Daryl did an amazing job of leaving just enough clues and red herrings to ensure that the mystery was not too easily “solvable.”
~My Devotional Thoughts
A fabulously well-plotted mystery, I was so engrossed in the story, following along with, Jenna trying to figure the who and the why that I lost all track of time and didn’t look up until I had finished the last page.
~Lisa Ks Book Reviews
This well-paced mystery kept me guessing with plenty of suspects, twists, and turns.

As the annual Renaissance Fair comes to Crystal Cove, Jenna Hart’s Cookbook Nook is packed with tasty treats and all things medieval, while her pal Bailey is ready to swoon over her upcoming nuptials at a local vineyard. But when the two friends discover the body of the vineyard’s owner bludgeoned by a winepress, all their merriment fades, along with their hopes for a vintage year.
Which churlish varlet did the deed? Was it the victim’s errant brother, who stood to inherit the vineyards? Or the owner’s crestfallen ex-girlfriend? Mayhap it was the newly arrived comely wench, or her jealous husband. Fie on them all! Verily, Jenna can’t rest until justice is served, and she vows to track down the killer. But can she sniff out the truth before the villainous culprit strikes again?
Includes tantalizing recipes!
