The last thing I expected during Bramble Dale’s big debut cook-off was a dead food critic face-first in a plate of my best friends winning but fatal almond chicken. It was an and accident because she wouldn’t poison him on purpose. Really? Now I’m knee-deep in flour, lies, and a whole lot of bad alibis, trying to figure out who really wanted this foodie dead. Between his baking co-star girlfriend stealing the show and a rival food critic cutting into his review columns this harsh baking judge had more enemies than a guy could choke on. With my pet detective yellow Lab, Peanut, and my dangerously handsome crush, I’m out to uncover the truth one dish at a time. Between stolen recipes, missing tapes, and shady chefs, secrets are heating up. I have to find a killer fast or I might be the next one served cold in the morgue and my bestie will be cooking up lunch in the prison cafeteria.
