Memorial Day Weekend is coming up, and I'll be posting a Memorial Day Crime Fiction list. In the meantime, I thought I'd update my Barbecue Mysteries list. Let me know any titles I've missed, and I'll add them.
So many ways one can murder someone at a barbecue, from the sauce to the skewers to the grill. Here's a short list of Barbecue Mysteries. Let me know if I've forgotten any!

There is also a bit of a Southern-style barbeque mystery wrapped up in Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, later made into the film Fried Green Tomatoes.
Thanks for the recipes, Janet! Our menu is already set for this weekend, but there's a whole summer ahead to try them out... I'm not sure I can grasp the concept of cocoa-rubbed salmon - all the more reason to give it a go!
Ha! What a great mystery book list idea--a BBQ version. :D I've never heard of chocolate on the grill! Sounds interesting!
Uh, oh. Now I'm hungry...
