This cute cozy mystery features a food truck inherited by fraternal twins. In this series debut the food truck enters a reality show competition. When a body is found, one of the twins is questioned by police and sets out to find the culprit. Humor, murder, intrigue and a tiny hint of romance. The plot was nice and twisty, the characters interesting and believable, and the story was nicely crafted. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to seeing where the author takes these new characters. I received a complimentary copy of this book and chose to write a voluntary, unbiased review.

A Murder Most Fowl is the first book in the new Food Truck Mystery series by Carmela Dutra. Twins Beth and Seth inherit their Aunt Dolly’s food truck.. They operate it with the help of Beth’s BF, Rylie. The three of them decide to enter their business, Kluckin’ Good, in a food truck competition. Unfortunately, not long after the competition starts, one of the contestants is killed. Now the Kluckin’ Good threesome decide that they need to solve the mystery before one of them is killed.
A Murder Most Fowl is a fun start to a new series. The story includes a little romance, humor and a few yummy recipes. It will be interesting to see what happens next for the Kluckin’ Good team!

Murder Most Fowl is a deliciously clever mystery! Carmela Dutra serves up suspense, humor, and heart in this cozy debut. The twin duo, their quirky food truck, and a deadly cooking show create the perfect recipe for intrigue. A must-read for cozy mystery fans craving charm and clucking-good twists!

This is a new series by an author new to me. I really found this to be a cute cozy with lots of potential! I liked the setting in a food truck, and I can see where this has lots of opportunities for storylines as it can be moved to different locations and have different set ups like the Food Show competition Beth and company participate in, in our first story. Anyone one who considers themselves a foodie will also be delighted with all the clever food offerings and their equally clever names. Finally, there are some good characters here. I love that, though Beth is our MC, she has inherited her food truck Kluckin' Good with her twin Seth, even though he is a silent partner and only fills in when Beth and her employee and best friend Rylie need help. It is obvious all three have a strong bond and long-term ties, I will say that sometimes the siblings squabbling get a little over the top, distracting. With a food show competition, there is plenty of room for things to go array when there is money and fame at stake. When murder occurs, there are plenty of questions, suspects, and motives to go around. My biggest quibbles with this story is that Beth has some problems with self control, I get that she is a tad quirky, but she is also smart, so sometimes it is it is just too much. Also, as often happens in cozy mysteries, Beth takes way too many chances in trying to figure out what's happening. Overall, this is a fun romp with plenty of action and interesting characters. I will definitely look forward to the next book in the series. Thanks to #Netgally, #CrookedLaneBooks, and the author for the introduction to this series. #MurderMostFowl, #AFoodTruckMystery #CarmelaDutra #bookreview #bookideas #retiredreader

Quirky storyline and offbeat characters that were fun to follow along in the mystery. Fun and lighthearted I would definitely give this author a read.

A murder Most Fowl is about Seth and Beth who are twins and run a food truck left to them by their aunt. They run the food truck with their friend Rylie. Beth decides to enter a food truck competition. After the first challenge one of the other food truck owner's (Benji) is found dead in his food truck. Beth takes it upon herself to find out what happened. Beth continues to keep officer Kane or Officer Pretty Boy as she calls him on his toes through the whole story.
I loved this first book in A Food Truck Mystery and look forward to more to come. I really enjoyed the banter between all the characters. Carmela kept me hooked from the very beginning. It was hard to put this book down because it was so entertaining. If you liked the cozy mysteries by Jana Deleon you will enjoy these books.
Thank you NetGalley and Cooked Lane Books for the ARC copy of A Murder Most Fowl: A Food Truck Mystery. I look forward to more books in this series.

This is the first book in a fantastic new series, and I hope there are many more books to come. I love the interactions between twins Beth and Seth. Along with their friend Rylie, they set out on an adventure entering their food truck in a cooking competition. This story was riveting, had a lot of twists and turns, interesting characters and I couldn't stop reading. I highly recommend this book!

I had such a fun time reading this! A Murder Most Fowl has the perfect blend of mystery and humor. I couldn't put this down, I just had to know who the killer was. The characters were so much fun and super likeable. This really was a cozy mystery, I would definitely recommend picking this one up on a rainy day. You'll read it in one sitting! I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!

First, I have to say this book was AMAZING! I loved it so much that I had to read it more than once, since I finished it in one night the first time around. It was an entertaining read, well-written, and the pace was great. From page one, I laughed countless times. I found no plot holes, and could connect with each character. Beth was the one I could relate to the most being on the short side myself. This book actually made me hungry a couple times for some fried chicken(my favorite) Also, it wasn’t easy to figure out who did it, so I loved that I was kept guessing until the end. Dutra did a great job with this book. I can’t wait to read the next one in this series, and any future books she may write. This is a cozy mystery series you want to read! I definitely recommend it! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

#AMurderMostFowl #NetGalley is a perfect first in a new series by Carmela Dutra.
Twins Beth and Seth have inherited their Aunt Dolly's food truck, which features chicken wings, sliders and fries.
When Beth's application to be part of a food truck competition, her brother Seth is against the idea.
The feuding siblings remind me of my own set of fraternal twins, and it made the story so much fun.
Beth is eager to participate in this wild adventure and her best friend Rylie is right there with her.
No one expects the competition to be so cut throat or for the contestants to be threatened or bullied.
Beth can't resist trying to find out what's going on and she finds herself in some odd situations.
This is a refreshing new cozy mystery and I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
