Genre: Cozy Mystery

  Teaser from page 67 in the Paperback.

Danny had found a picture of Geraldine Cook that appeared to have been taken ten or fifteen years prior to her death. In the photo, the seventyish woman was seated in the sidecar of a red motorcycle wearing a bright-pink helmet tied on with a black, fringed silk scarf and clutching a huge tapestry bag in her lap. Although not exactly Dani’s image of a person who would create a chef’s dream of a kitchen, Mrs. Cook did seem like the kind of person who fully embraced life.

Synopsis

Right when Dani thinks she’s hit a dead-end in her career, she unexpectedly inherits an enormous old house in a quaint college town. This gives her the perfect opportunity to pursue her true passion—cooking! So Dani opens Chef-to-Go, preparing delicious, ready-made meals for hungry students attending the nearby university, as well as providing personal chef services and catering events for the local community. To help support her new business, she opens her home to a few students, renting them rooms and becoming almost like a big sister figure in their lives.

But just as Dani is relishing her sweet new life, the friend of one of her boarders is murdered, and Dani becomes one of the primary suspects! She’ll have to scramble to clear her name and save her business before the killer reappears—perhaps to silence the new chef forever.
