As the national bestselling Food Lovers’ Village Mysteries continue,
the
merchants of Jewel Bay, Montana, try to heat up chilly winter business with
a new film
festival. But their plans are sent reeling when a dangerous killer dims the
lights on a
local vendor
In an attempt to woo tourists to Jewel Bay and cheer up the townies, Erin
Murphy,
manager of the specialty local foods market known as the Merc, is organizing
the First
Annual Food Lovers’ Film Festival, filled with classic foodie flicks and
local twists
on favorite movie treats. But when her partner in planning, painter
Christine
Vandeberg, is found dead only days before the curtain rises, Erin suspects
someone is
attempting to stop the films from rolling.
To make matters worse, Nick—Erin’s brother and Christine’s beau—has top
billing on the
suspect list. Convinced her brother is innocent and determined that the show
must go
on, Erin has to find who’s really to blame before Nick gets arrested or the
festival
gets shut down. But the closer she gets to the killer, the more likely it
becomes that
she’ll be the next person cut from the program...
