When pizza truck owner Denny Winwood rolls into the annual JamFest, he expects an easy weekend serving piping-hot pies to hungry music fans…
But the festive vibe takes a dark turn when a pillar of the community is found dead, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit town.
Along with Romeo, his spirited five-pound Yorkie, Denny takes on the role of investigator, sifting through a chorus of suspects and clues. Was it a simple mishap, or is there something more sinister at play?
Each slice of evidence brings Denny closer to the truth, but the stakes are higher than ever. With the town gripped by fear and uncertainty, can he unravel the mystery before the chaos reaches a crescendo? Or will his quest for answers be silenced?
Indulge in this wholesome food truck mystery, where every bite brings you closer to the final, electrifying encore.
Music Festival Murder is the second in the series. It could work as a stand alone, but they’re quick so I’d probably just go back and read the first before starting this one.
Denny and his pizza truck are back in his hometown, this time for JamFest. His friend Jerry’s band is going to be playing on the mainstage, which is exciting. But of course someone gets killed – a boutique owner who is also the retired school band director. Denny starts asking questions. Thankfully he has hired a young man, Graham, to help at the truck so he has some freedom to traipse around the festival grounds looking for clues and talking to people.
This one was another fun, quick mystery. I feel like the motive in these tend to be a bit weak. I read this a couple of days ago and I remember who the killer was but not why they did it.
