Всичко за тази електронна книга

The author of By Cook or By Crook serves up a delectable novel that's “perfect for fans of good food, small towns and lighthearted mysteries” (Blue Moon Mystery Saloon).

Thirtyish Val Deniston loves the Chesapeake Bay tourist town she now calls home. Running the fitness club's Cool Down Café—and perfecting her five-ingredient recipes—is a dream come true. But keeping her grandfather out of trouble can be a challenge . . .

Especially when one of his dinner party guests winds up face down in the chowder. The deceased diner apparently scammed Granddad's best buddy, and since the other dinner guests have suddenly clammed up, the police have all the ingredients to cook up a conviction for Granddad. With his freedom—and Val's café job—on the line, Val is in a sweat trying to avert disaster. But dredging up old secrets might just be a recipe for murder . . .

Includes six five-ingredient recipes!
