Why read it?

2 authors picked Lavender's Blue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Lavender’s Blue is Book 1 The Liz, Danger Series. I devoured the series as fast as they came out. This series is Jennifer Crusie, and Bob Mayor at their best.

The books are mysteries with a growing romantic thread between the two protagonists. Their writing style is snarky, warm hearted, and funny. This series gave me so much joy. I can't stop thinking about them.

All three books in the Liz Danger series are full of guilty food pleasures.

Liz and her beloved Vince chow down at the neighborhood diner, which leads to extended descriptions of burgers, tenderloins, fries, and onion rings. It’s just one of the attractions of Burney, Ohio—the small town Liz and company and determined to save from the sinister forces trying to loot its assets and transform it into another faceless suburb.

Make sure you have at least a bag of chips on hand, and an order of nachos wouldn’t go amiss.

From Meg's list on when you’re feeling peckish.
