For readers who crave a cozy mystery with a dash of inspiration, Ellery Adams and Tina Radcliffe's A Taste of Crime is a delightful recipe for intrigue. Join Cooper Lee and her warm, supportive Bible study group as their world gets shaken by a murderous twist.

A notorious food critic meets a bitter end, and suspicion falls on a beloved local chef. With suspicion swirling around a beloved local chef, Cooper and her friends find themselves determined to clear his name. Their investigation becomes a shared journey, seamlessly interwoven with their regular and insightful Bible study discussions.

The authors weave faith into the narrative with the finesse of a master chef. Scripture isn't merely quoted, but applied to the challenges they face. Themes of forgiveness, trust, and the importance of community simmer throughout the story, resonating deeply with readers who share those values.

The mystery itself is a well-crafted dish that will keep you guessing until the satisfying reveal. Is the beloved chef innocent? Will Cooper and her friends uncover a hidden motive? Dive into A Taste of Crime to find out!

A Taste of Crime is a charming addition to the Hope Street Church Mystery series, offering a delightful cup of cozy mystery with a generous helping of heartwarming friendship and a dash of faith.

I am thrilled to have found a book that blends cozy mysteries and Christian fiction so well. A Taste of Crime is a breath of fresh air! It satisfied my craving for a heartwarming story with an eternal focus. Here’s a quote:

“God’s trustworthiness is not dependent upon us. It is one hundred percent Him.

His promises can’t be earned or bought. They are unchanging from generation to generation.”
