Pepper Reece has owned the Seattle Spice Shop for ten months. She loves being in Pike Place Market and dealing with all the customers and shop owners. The only downside is dealing with her ex-husband, Tag Buhner. He’s a bicycle cop and Pike Place Market is his beat. When a panhandler is found dead in the doorway of her shop, Pepper has to get involved. He was holding a cup with the Spice Shop logo on it. Pepper had better be careful solving this death, she could end up crushed and blended.

Things to ponder: What is bothering Tory? Why is Doc following Tory? Who served Doc tea? Did the altercation Doc had with Sam lead to his demise?

A new series by a favorite author – this book is right up my alley. It is a fast-paced page-turner that will keep you guessing. It is well-plotted and cozy mystery lovers will enjoy finding out whodunit. So if you like your mystery with a lot of spice, then you should be reading Assault and Pepper.
