"It appears our mission at this stage of our lives involves helping people who need it. Location doesn't seem to be a factor." ~ 41%

My Series Sunday pick is A Spicy Predicament, the sixth book in the Eugeena Patterson mystery series by Tyora Moody. Eugeena Patterson-Jones did not intend to spend her retirement years as an amateur sleuth. But here we are! Perhaps being a schoolteacher for thirty years made her interested in learning little-known facts about people. But as the quote above says, it appears to be her mission.

Eugeena and Amos are finally heading to their honeymoon. As part of a surprise, Eugeena is treated to a concert starring one of her favorite singers, also a childhood friend. Cinnamon invites the newlywed couple backstage after the show. The fun reunion quickly turns into a murder scene. Now the planned romantic getaway takes a backseat to saving her old friend's life.

"I hadn't been to a repast that didn't offer a plate of fried chicken, string beans, macaroni and cheese, a Hawaiian roll and a hunk of pound cake." ~ 69%

I love culinary cozy mysteries! And right now, Tyora Moody is my preferred author since I'm binge-reading most of her books. Super easy reading with the right touch of whodunit, not so obvious clues and characters that make you smile. I even took a liking to the suspects which made the mystery a wee bit harder to solve. Eugeena and Amos may be a long way from home but their investigative skills are sharp as ever.

I immediately started reading the next book so that tells you how much I enjoy this cozy mystery series. I recommend for light reading, Bookhearts!
