If You Can't Stand the Heat: Poppy Markham: Culinary Cop Series, Book 1
"[A] red-hot saucy debut...Readers will want to see more of this laid-back Austin-style snoop." -- Publishers Weekly "First-timer Allen delivers a breezy and likable menu..." --Kirkus Reviews " Ideal for fans of culinary mysteries." --Booklist " If You Can't Stand The Heat is a delightful mystery, full of regional charm and kitchen spice. Robin Allen has served up a delicious debut." --David Liss, author of The Devil's Company and The Whiskey Rebels "Robin Allen delivers big time, with colorful characters and an intriguing plot that keeps you turning the pages. Can't wait to see what Poppy cooks up next." --Ben Rehder, Edgar-nominated author of the Blanco County mystery series "This tale of an aspiring eatery and the crew of Texas hipsters, hotheads, and raw talent is great fun." --Nadia Gordon, author of the MWA Mary Higgins Clark Award-nominated Lethal Vintage and other Napa Valley mysteries "Robin Allen whips up a delicious debut-soufflé of prima donna chefs, restaurant secrets, family warfare, business shenanigans and...spices it all with murder." --Gillian Roberts, author of the Amanda Pepper mystery series Hey y'all - Just a quick hello to say that I hope you enjoy reading about these characters as much as I enjoy writing them. I waited tables for years and loved it. Surly cooks, over-confident bartenders, diva waitresses, crazy owners and managers. What other job has so much entertainment built right in? I made my main character a public health inspector so I could take you behind the scenes. If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you'll be laughing and nodding your head at everything you recognize. If you only dine in restaurants, well, you'll see that it's not all clean forks and candlelight. In the second book, Stick a Fork in It , Poppy is doing a food permit inspection at a restaurant with a very unusual theme.
