A Hopeless Barbecue (A Hope Walker Mystery)
By Daniel Carson
A funny cozy mystery series full of bold women, a quirky and lovable town, and one seriously hopeless romance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This installment of the Hope Walker Mysteries is a 24K word Novella whereas a typical Novel in the series is around 58K words. Although this story was written after I’d already written the first 10 books of the series, the ACTION of A Hopeless Barbecue takes place between the action of A Hopeless Heist and A Hopeless Discovery and so for this reason, I have placed it as Book 3 of the series.
It’s a crisp fall Saturday in the beautiful mountain town of Hopeless, Idaho and investigative reporter Hope Walker and her best friend Katie are helping out at Brisketpalooza, the fall barbecue festival.
The town’s minister, Pastor Leif, and his wife throw the festival every year to celebrate barbecue and bring people together. But this year, there is extra stress. Pastor Leif’s Bishop is in town and threatening to move him and his wife to a new church in a different town. Plus, the barbecue competition is the most competitive it has ever been.
And one more thing is complicating the matter. The small matter of the dead body in the municipal auditorium.
So, before Brisketpalooza is ruined and Pastor Leif is shipped off to another town, Hope Walker and her best friend step in to solve a murder and save the day!
Read this funny and charming novella today and get a delicious taste of the Hope Walker mysteries for yourself.
