Visualizza tutti i formati ed edizioni

The SECOND book in Edgar-winning author Julie Smith’s Rebecca Schwartz series. A tasty treat of a San Francisco mystery—a crisp, tangy story you’re sure to get a rise out of.

DEATH TURNS A TRICK, FIRST IN THIS SERIES, IS NOW AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK!

"…a brisk and breezy item, which—like sourdough itself—has its own distinctive and satisfying flavor.” -San Diego Union

“…an awful lot of fun, and it will make you unbearably hungry for fresh-baked bread.” -San Jose Mercury-News

TO YOU, ITS JUST A FROZEN LUMP OF DOUGH; TO SOME, IT'S LIFE AND DEATH...

Especially to handsome Peter Martinelli, who wants to auction off the fabled sourdough starter from his family’s famous bakery. But who’d buy a frozen hunk of flour and water? Only, it turns out, every bakery in San Francisco, a national food conglomerate, and an upstart ringer with a mysterious backer. Someone would even kill for it. And does.

Enter lawyer sleuth Rebecca Schwartz, whose client is her own partner, glamorous Chris Nicholson, Martinelli’s main squeeze before the ill-starred auction. Rebecca noshes her way through the case in hilariously unorthodox style, tasting some great bread along the way, but also uncovering so many ancient jealousies, long-simmering feuds, and seething resentments that she barely escapes death by doughball.

NOTE: THIS STORY IS COMPLETELY REALITY-BASED! A SAN FRANCISCO BAKERY MADE PAGE ONE NEWS BY FREEZING THEIR STARTER — ONLY WITHOUT THE BLOODSHED. The slapstick style, over-the-top action, and witty dialogue make Rebecca Schwartz an easy choice for fans of Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Bond, Dorothy Cannell, Elizabeth Peters, Sarah Strohmeyer, and Jennifer Crusie.

Fun story deserving a read

Recensito in Canada il 15 luglio 2017

Witty and humorous without being over the top silly. It took a little bit of time to really get into the plot and the characters, but then I was solidly into it.

A good mystery even though the finale seemed a little forced. I would recommend it as a light hearted cozy!

Italian family squabbles untangled by Jewish lawyer

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 febbraio 2016

This book falls in the category often called "Cozy Mysteries," which generally takes a humorous slant on the murder mystery and focuses on foibles and absurdities in human behavior. While I have some difficulty seeing people killing one another as "humorous," Julie Smith does succeed in pointing out the absurdities of human behavior and the disasters that result when these absurdities are carried too far. While it may be hard to believe that families can be torn apart and individuals driven to shoot at one another over ownership of a sourdough culture, the author succeeds in making us suspend out disbelief as she unfolds a very twisted and often ridiculous plot. As is generally required, the aftermath produces growth and reconciliations among the survivors.

Well written and fast paced, the book features Rebecca, a Jewish attorney who handles criminal and divorce cases but finds herself roped into proctoring the auction sale of a notoriously famous sourdough culture that was the mainstay of a popular (and now defunct) San Francisco bakery. When the owner of the culture fails to appear for the auction and is subsequently found murdered in his own apartment, the chain of events becomes extremely complicated. All but one of the bidders are related by blood or broken marriages, and the deceased owner's sister also becomes involved as his heir apparent. Then the culture itself is discovered to have disappeared from the warehouse where it had been frozen and stored.

I won't offer any additional spoilers. Just be prepared for a lot of twists and surprises. Some are indeed amusing, others pretty sad. The characters are not thin or underdeveloped, but as one might expect in this type of story, they tend to be exaggerated to some extent. Rebecca's boyfriend Rob, a reporter for the Chronicle, becomes involved as he tries to get a front page scoop out of each unfolding incident. Since he is only "half Jewish," her parents do not approve of him and that adds to the humorous subplots. There's plenty of tension, though much of it is suitable for a television sitcom rather than a mystery novel. The resolution is satisfying without justifying the mayhem or exonerating the perpetrators.

It's a quick, light read that made a nice departure from some darker and almost claustrophobic material I have been reading. I recommend it to anyone who can take these kind of stories at face value without trying to analyze them too deeply or look for flaws.

Rebecca is in partnership with her friend Chris, running a law practice together. Rebecca's sister, Mickey, has persuaded them to give her part-time actor boyfriend a job as their secretary, something he is not very good at. He is appearing in a play with Peter, an up and coming actor who is also Chris's new boyfriend. Peter comes from a well-known family of sourdough bakers but having stated that he has no aptitude for business, decides to sell off his family's secret sourdough 'starter', the original recipe from which their delicious bread was made. When Peter is found murdered, Rebecca is determined to track down the killer. I had not read the previous books in this series and whilst the relationships of the central characters was cleverly interwoven through the plot, I found the first half of the book quite slow and the characters a little wooden. At times, some of the scenes devised to inject some interaction between the characters weren't terribly convincing, although they did serve to move the story along and increase the pace a little. However, about half way through the book, everything started to liven up. Rebecca's feisty character began to shine through and everything started to come together as the interaction between the characters really took off. Once the story really got going, then it was almost impossible to put down. From feeling quite lukewarm about Rebecca, I quickly grew to love her although I'm not sure I didn't side with her mother about her reporter boyfriend, Rob. In addition to the murder mystery, the book deals with sibling rivalry, the gay scene in San Francisco, family relationships and the personal and working lives of two professional women. I thought the plot came together really well, the action was fast and funny and I would certainly read more books in the series.

Another super read - funny, but still a gripping story. Who would have thought that sourdough could be so sought after.
