Mystery Woman Sleuth
It's another great gig for Mad Bean Events: catering the
gala season wrap party for the runaway TV hit, gourmet
cook-off game show Food Freak. But Madeline's going to
have to keep her delicious Cajun treats simmering on the
stove a while longer now that the studio has decided to
film one more episode . . . and the head writer has
mysteriously disappeared. The good news is the show's
producer must replace the missing writer and offers Maddie
the temporary position, since there's no one in L.A. who's
more up on her food facts than La Bean. Joining the
show's oddball staff, Maddie must quickly meet the demands
of this intense, new, behind-the-scenes world of
television, and is soon busily creating clever culinary
puzzles for the show's contestants. But in her new office
she immediately uncovers tantalizing hints as to the
missing writer's whereabouts. And solving puzzles in real
life is a Maddie Bean talent second only to her superb
knowledge of edibles. Certain clues she finds scattered
around the workspace - including a troubling Post-it note
that hints of homicide - have her wondering whether the
AWOL writer truly flew the coop . . . or was written off
for good! A Hollywood writer's life had sounded sweet,
but Maddie finds the whirlwind of twisted off-camera
affairs of the Hollywood demi-mighty - where ego-wrestling
is an extreme sport - can leave a bitter aftertaste,
especially when a rare and priceless packet of Kool-Aid,
an amorous celebrity chef, and a bubbling Cajun gumbo from
hell leads her indirectly to a murder. Suddenly, Madeline
Bean's having-her-cake-and-eating-it-too temp job becomes
a recipe for disaster, setting the cagey caterer in the
lethal sights of a killer.
