The A Cook-Off Mystery series blends cooking competitions with murder investigations across nine books. Devon Delaney launched the series in 2018 with Expiration Date and has kept it going with roughly one book per year since then.
The titles give a clear idea of the tone. Final Roasting Place, Guilty as Charred, A Half-Baked Alibi, and Serving Up Spite all play on food and cooking terms. Each book wraps a murder mystery around a culinary event, and the lighthearted style makes the series a fit for readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with a themed hook.
