Kernel of Truth
by Kristi Abbott

An all-new Popcorn Shop Mystery bursts on the scene,
featuring gourmet popcorn entrepreneur Rebecca Anderson and
her poodle Sprocket.

Opening a gourmet popcorn shop was never on Rebecca
Anderson’s bucket list. But after a failed marriage to
a celebrity chef, she’s ready for her life to open up
and expand. She has returned to her hometown of Grand Lake,
Ohio, with her popcorn-loving poodle Sprocket to start a new
business—naturally called POPS. As a delicious bonus,
Cordelia “Coco” Bittles, a close family friend
who has always been like a grandmother to Rebecca, owns the
chocolate shop next door, and the two are thinking of
combining their businesses.

But when Coco’s niece, Alice, discovers her on the
floor of her chocolate shop, those dreams go up in smoke.
The local sheriff thinks Coco was the victim of a robbery
gone wrong, but Rebecca isn’t so sure. As suspects
start popping up all over, Rebecca is determined to turn up
the heat and bring the killer to justice in a jiffy!

Kristi lives in northern California, although she was born in Ohio like the heroine of Kernel of Truth. She loves snack food, crocheting, her kids, and her man, not necessarily in that order.

Kristi also writes as both Eileen Rendahl and Eileen Carr. Click here to learn more about her other books.
