Book Description

 May 5, 2015
FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

Talia Marby serves up delectable English deep fried fare in the heart of the Berkshires—but she soon discovers there’s something fishy going on…

Sometimes in this life, you have to fish or cut bait. After walking away from a miserable job and an even worse boyfriend, Talia Marby has no regrets. She’s returned to her hometown and is happy to help her dear friend Bea Lambert by working at Lambert’s Fish & Chips, a cornerstone of a charming shopping plaza designed to resemble an old English village.

But not all the shop owners are charming. Phil Turnbull has been pestering Bea to sign a petition against a new store opening up, and his constant badgering is enough to make her want to boil him in oil. When Talia and Bea stumble upon Turnbull murdered in his shop, the police suspect Bea. Now it’s up to Talia to fish around for clues and hook the real killer before her friend has to trade serving food for serving time…

Includes delicious recipes!

  10. We use those outdoor deep fryers in the summer to fry fish and whatever else we want to fry for our meal. It makes those fish so tasty! I know, I know, not quite so good for you. But, yum!

  12. Looking forward to reading Linda's book so much. We live in MA and get fresh fish easily but when our children were growing up, they could not tolerate the odor of fish being deep fried at home, so we always went out each Friday for our fried haddock. To this day, we always go out for fried foods even though our children are adults and on their own now. But I do cook lots of seafood at home, mostly shrimp and lobster. I know that shrimp is not considered fish as such but this is an easy recipe that I got from a restaurant in NC over ten years ago and it is one of the quickest dishes to make. I add my own touches to it too, as this is just a basic recipe but the way many want it to be. Simple......

    SHRIMP CARBONARA

    10-12 oz. peeled and deveined shrimp
    3 Tablespoons olive oil
    ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    4 slices bacon
    ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes
    mushrooms (optional)
    onions (optional)
    1/3 cup heavy cream
    1 extra large egg
    your favorite cooked pasta

    Sauté bacon and sun dried tomatoes in olive oil. Add onions and shrimp, and cook three minutes. Add mushrooms and cream. Heat to boil. Add pasta. Stir until heated through. Turn off heat. Sprinkle cheese on top of mixture. Whip egg vigorously. While stirring mixture, slowly pour n egg and continue to mix. Be careful not to scramble egg. Divide onto plates and top with additional grated cheese.

    Serves two.

    Thank you so much for having the contest to win Fillet of Murder; it would be great to have an autographed copy from Linda for my bookshelves.

  14. I make a casserole of salmon and peas in a white sauce. Cracker crumbs are spread on top. My daughter loves it too - so I make it when she is coming. I also love salmon cakes - salmon, egg, and some mashed potato for binding. Fried with some catsup on them - wonderful.
    thanks for the chance to win the book.
