3.0 out of 5 stars Murder served with a side of slaw 19 Oct 2010
By Cheryl Shifflet - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This new cozy mystery series by Delia Rosen unfortunately doesn't completely cut the mustard. While the premise was fantastic, a mystery set in a Kosher deli in the heart of Nashville, the writing felt disjointed at times. The tale opens suddenly and proceeds to introduce practically every character seemingly in the first few pages of chapter one, so my head was spinning to keep everyone straight.

Gwen, the cozy's amateur sleuth, has recently inherited her Uncle Murray's troubled deli. Having uprooted herself from NYC after a bad divorce, she finds herself with an unruly staff, while trying to run a deli she knows virtually nothing about. Throw a murdered patron on Kosher Karaoke Night into mix and you've got a real recipe for disaster.

While I enjoyed the interesting characters peppered throughout and the mystery plot, I did sometimes feel there was a great deal of let's get to the point already moments, which slowed down the pacing of the novel. I eventually warmed up to Gwen and the author's writing style, but not before having to put the book down once.

Since this is Rosen's first outing, I'm willing to give the series another go. I recommend the book for those with an open mind and don't mind a sleuth with chutzpah.

3.0 out of 5 stars FUN FAST READ 11 Oct 2010
By ITZME - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Book One of new cozy mystery series: A Deadly Deli Mystery. Set in Nashville, Tennessee in an inherited deli called Murray's. Gwen Katz (married name of Silver) is the owner and manager of the deli. During Kosher Karaoke Night, Buster Sergeant dies on stage. This opens the door for the hunkish police detective Beau McClintock to enter the story. Lots of characters, lots of deceit and threats are involved in the plot. A fun, fast read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good as far as cozy mysteries go. 18 Oct 2010
By Reacher Creature - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Overall, this is a pretty good start in a new series, not great, but not bad either.

Gwen Silver inherits her Uncle Murray's Jewish Deli. One night, a long time customer, Buster Sargent, comes in, has something to eat, then he falls over dead. It's up to Gwen to find out who killed Buster and why. To add to her troubles, a land developer comes by and wants to buy her place. Soon, the killer thinks that Gwen is getting to close and want to silence her.

This is an okay read. Not the best, but not the worse either. The characters are okay, at times, some of them really grated my nerves. When the we found out who the killer was and why he did what he did, I was like...."meh". There aren't really any plot twists or turns. I'd have liked to see a bit more of cat and mouse between the killer and Gwen.

This book has recipes in it, and they do sound good.

If you start this, I'm sure you'll like it. It's a lot better than a lot of cozy mysteries out there.
