A friend sent me this clipart and I do not know where he found it, so my apologies to the artist. It made me laugh because it depicts me at the computer since I shattered my wrist. Happy trails, Leslie

I was very happy to be able to join the Friends, Wine & Books book club discussion of Menu for Murder.  I loved the interesting comments and feedback on Jayne and the other characters. It was also fun for me to give some extra insight on what was behind their creation and where I see them going in the future. Thanks to Carrie for the lovely gift and for making me feel so very welcome. Happy trails, Leslie

What a great opportunity for me to read some pages from Menu For Murder and hear feedback. Thanks to the Arizona Author's Association for inviting me.

The description of this book originally didn't interest me but my sister told me to read it, so I did. I'm glad I did, because once I started I couldn't put it down.  Written in first person as the three women characters - Megan, Anna and the main character Rachel. As with all of my reviews, I try not to give away too much of the story. I will say that Rachel was hard to like at the beginning of the book. In fact, she was hard to like most of the way through the book. Author Hawkins, adeptly maneuvers the reader until you are completely committed to a direction and then in the last part of the book, she throws you off course. I love a work of fiction which might be considered as women's literature but also includes mystery and maybe even a murder. When an author surprises me with a fantastic twist, I can't wait to read her next work. I would definitely recommend this book. Happy trails, Leslie
