If you love mysteries\, this book club is the place for you! We meet every month to discuss the chosen selection\, w ith maybe a little catching up on the side.
\nNovember's book select ion is Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes by Sandra Jackso n-Opoku.
\nWhen Savvy Summers first opened Essie's soul food caf&eac ute\;\, she never expected her customer-favorite sweet potato pie to becom e the center of a murder investigation. But when Grandy Jaspers\, the 75-y ear-old neighborhood womanizer\, drops dead at table two\, she suddenly ha s more to worry about than just maintaining Essie's reputation for the fin est soul food in the Chicagoland area.
\nEven as the police deem Gra ndy&rsquo\;s death an accident\, Savvy quickly finds herself&mdash\;and he r beloved café\;&mdash\;in the middle of an entire city&rsquo\;s wor th of bad press. Desperate to clear her name and keep her business afloat\ , Savvy and her snooping assistant manager\, Penny Lopé\;s\, take it upon themselves to find who really killed Grandy.
\nBut with a slim y investor harassing her to sell her name and business\, customers avoidin g her sweet potato pie like the plague\, and her police sergeant ex-husban d suddenly back in the picture\, will Savvy be able to clear the caf&eacut e\;&rsquo\;s name and solve Grandy&rsquo\;s murder before it all falls apa rt?
\nAfter all\, while Savvy always said her sweet potato pie was t o die for\, she never meant literally.
