Review; Murder Most Southern (A Ditie Brown Mystery #3) by Sarah Osborne
Last year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC for the cosy mystery Murder Most Southern (A Ditie Brown Mystery #3) by Sarah Osborne through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review.
Description from Goodreads
Mabel Aphrodite Brown unpacks her knives—and her detective skills—when she joins a cooking competition that someone would kill to win . . .
Somehow, Ditie’s best friend, Lurleen, has sweet-talked Ditie into a spot on the next edition of The Great Southern Baking Contest. It’ll mean leaving her almost-adopted kids for a little while, but they love spending time with their uncle. And she can’t turn down the chance to bake at celebrity chef Savanah Evans’s antebellum estate in Beaufort, South Carolina . . .
Even when Savanah’s husband dies suspiciously at the welcome party, the show doesn’t stop. As technical problems plague filming and the body count rises faster than a soufflé, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding more than just biscuit recipes. It’s up to Ditie to sift through a slew of suspects and motives to cut through a mystery with more layers than her Georgia peach strudel. If she doesn’t come through with a killer soon, she might get chopped—from real life.

My Thoughts on the Book
Murder Most Southern was a charming read with a fun plot. The downside was that there were perhaps one or two too many characters, which made it a little bit confusing at times.
