In “Kernel of Truth,” a crime-solving gourmet popcorn entrepreneur named Rebecca Anderson, and her pet poodle, Sprocket, take on the mystery of a family friend’s murder. 

This is the first book in the new Popcorn Shop Mysteries, a series by Eileen Rendahl who is writing as Kristi Abbott. The series combines the author’s love of popcorn with a classic heroine storyline that is delightfully sarcastic and sweet-spirited. Eileen joins Insight host, Beth Ruyak, to talk about the book and the series.
