A Quiche Before Dying
(2024)(The second book in the Cook and Inspector series)
A Novella by Joanne Pence
When the glamour of the culinary world conceals a dark secret, murder is on the menu…
Angie Amalfi is ecstatic when she lands a job on a pompous chef's call-in radio show, believing she'll whisk her way to stardom. But the murder of a popular restaurant owner sends shockwaves through the city's elite dining scene. Angie knows this world and leaps fork-first into the mystery, inadvertently complicating the investigation of the man who has stolen her heart, Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith
As the body count rises, the dangers increase in a shadowy underworld where money, power, and illicit film producers stir the pot. Oblivious to the simmering peril, Angie soon finds herself in the middle of a deadly stew, where not only her new job, but her budding relationship with Paavo face being poisoned into extinction. Will she and Paavo navigate the twists and turns, saving not just their lives but also the fragile bond forming between them? Or are they doomed to be the next deadly course?
The kitchen is hot, and the mystery is served in this latest Cook and Inspector Mystery.
NOTE: The main characters in this story appear in an early mystery series by the author. This is a completely reimagined and updated version of Too Many Cooks.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
