Killing Thyme is the second Peter Abresch mystery, with retiree James P. Dandy and his lady friend Dodee Swisher attending a culinary conference in the Smoky Mountains. The cooking-as-hobby community is rendered with the same affection Abresch brought to the bonsai world in book one, with celebrity chefs, hobbyist judges, and the kind of inter-society rivalries that produce motives.
The formula tightens up in the second outing. The setting is well-used. The Dandy and Dodee partnership gets a little more interior life. The mystery resolves cleanly.
Three stars. Series readers will be content. A small genuine pleasure of the retiree-cozy subgenre.
