English Trifle by Josi Kilpack

This is one of my favorite Josi Kilpack, Sadie Hoffmiller mysteries!  Sadie and her daughter Breanna travel to Great Britain where Breanna's boyfriend Liam is heir to the family title and the estate.  When Breanna and Sadie stumble across a dead body in the sitting room, and then the body disappears, it is of course up to Sadie to figure out just what is happening!  The famous landmarks, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, etc., are fun to read about, plus Sadie's try at authentic English recipes are a fun mix of a clean read winner!

Blackberry Crumble by Josie Kilpack

She uncovers business scandles and family skelectons. This is a great read for mystery buffs. Something extra included in these Sadie Hoffmiller mysteries are wonderful recipes. Sadie is a culinary wizard and there are recipes scattered throughout the books. I've tried a few and they are wonderful!

Lemon Tart by Josi Kilpack

In the first of the Sadie Hoffmiller mystery series, Josie Kilpack creates an amazing character who is strong in her beliefs, smart and aggressive, headstrong, yet so loveable you want her to succeed. I am especially drawn to this charcter because she is older, her children are grown and gone from the nest. Her husband has passed and she is finding herself involved in solving the murder of a body found in the back field of her neighborhood. In comes a very handsome police detective. You can guess what happens... I read this book about a year ago so I can't give you the exact number of profanity (if any) in it. I only know that this author rarely uses any. The only word I have ever found is h-ll in any of her books. Usually there is zero. The attraction of the sleuth and the police detective is strong but no funny business! She does not believe in sex before marriage so you will not find any graphic sex scenes in any of Josi Kilpack's Sadie Hoffmiller series.
