Book Description

Publication Date: March 3, 2015
The Agatha Award-winning author of Crime Rib is proud to introduce Pepper Reece, the owner of the Seattle Spice Shop who thinks she can handle any kind of salty customer—until a murderer ends up in the mix…

After leaving a dicey marriage and losing a beloved job in a corporate crash, Pepper Reece has found a new zest for life running a busy spice and tea shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Her aromatic creations are the talk of the town, and everyone stops by for a cup of her refreshing spice tea, even other shopkeepers and Market regulars. But when a panhandler named Doc shows up dead on the store’s doorstep, a Seattle Spice Shop cup in his hand, the local gossip gets too hot for Pepper to handle—especially after the police arrest one of Pepper’s staffers, Tory Finch, for murder.

Tory seems to know why she’s a suspect, but she refuses to do anything to curry favor with the cops. Convinced her reticent employee is innocent, Pepper takes it on herself to sniff out some clues. Only, if she’s not careful, Pepper’s nosy ways might make her next on the killer’s list…

    Assault and Pepper sounds like a great cozy, and I have it on my TBR list.
    I do enjoy drinking green tea with honey, stevia, and D'Mannose. As for spices, I guess my favorite would be cinnamon (I just love the smell).

    I'm an avid cozy reader and am always eager to start a new series. My favorite tea is either mango or peach, and my favorite spices are cinnamon and nutmeg.

    This looks like a great read! I only drink iced sweet tea. I don't really have a favorite spice but I recently made several dishes that called for sage.

    I use a lot of garlic and onion powder. For chili I need chili powder and cumin. Love Cinnamon and sugar on my toast. I just drink plain old Liipton tea (my drink of choice is a Pepsi). Love Leslie's other series so I'm sure this one will be good too. Looking forward to reading it.
    thanks

    I enjoy trying new things and spices. One of my favorites for years is mace in pound cake. If you aren't familiar think about the flavor in eggnog.

    I can name a spice I DON"T like and that is curry. I like so many other spices that I can't name a favorite. And I like a nice orange spice tea. I have the book and can't wait to read it!

    Oh gosh, I have to narrow spices down to just one? Well, the herb rosemary if I have to choose (and herbs count). It is almost as difficult to narrow down tea. I enjoy at least one pot of hot tea per day...earl grey, just about any oolong, jasmine....Assault and Pepper is on my TBR list. Thank you for the giveaway!

    Cinnamon is my favorite spice. I don't drink hot tea but love peach iced tea. I can't wait to read Assault and Pepper. There is a spice shop in one of the local shopping centers in my town. I love to browse there, and the smell is wonderful! Thanks for a chance to win the book! cking78503@aol.com

    As far as spice in a candle, cinnamon is it hands down. But in cooking, I have to say oregano. And my favorite tea is citrus green tea. That is my new favorite hands down.

    Cinnamon is my favorite spice also. I think I put it in about everything. Also You can't beat Cinnamon and Toast with a cup of tea and a good book in the afternoon. karolyn.yoakum@gmail.com

    I love spices and pour over my Penzey's catalog every month if I can't squeeze in a visit to the store in a nearby town. My favorite spice is probably cinnamon for baking and for baking Penzey's Szechuan Pepper Salt which is actually a blend but it's amazing. My email is katherine(dot)e(dot)pitts(at)gmail(dot)com

    Like many others, cinnamon is my favorite side. I am not a hot tea drinker, but I love hot chocolate with cinnamon! Thank you for a great opportunity.

    I really like dishes with basil in them. I'm a fan of good old iced sweet tea, and for hot tea I love Red Rose's Vanilla Biscotti black tea.

    My favorite tea has changed over the years and even now, it depends a lot on my mood. Constant Comment was my first favorite, the Earl Grey. Currently it is English Breakfast or Irish breakfast.

    My favorite spice? I think it would have to be nutmeg.
