Trixie's life takes an unexpected turn when her aunt
suggests that Trixie buy the diner she own. Trixie is
touched by the faith her aunt has in her. She has some big
plans for the diner without touching the core values her
aunt and uncle practiced. When the local health inspector
keels over while eating lunch, Trixie sees all her hopes and
dreams going down the drain.
Despite the warnings, of the hunky deputy, Ty Brisco, Trixie
is determined to prove her innocence. Her investigations
will lead to a long list of other people who might have
wanted to kill the inspector who used his job to get free
meals. Feed me or get some some violations was Marvin
Cogswell's pattern.
Having him die in suspicious circumstances with a letter
listing minor violations from Marvin, gives the local
sheriff's department good reason to keep their investigation
focused on Trixie.
The strong attraction that Trixie feels towards Ty isn't
enough to divert her attentions from others who might have
wanted the inspector dead. Her investigation will put
Trixie's life at risk but Ty comes to her rescue.

SUMMARY
When Trixie Matkowski agrees to take over her aunt’s diner,
she pictures lakeside views and delicious comfort food in
the small town where she spent summers as a child. But the
sweet scene turns sour when someone puts murder on the menu… Trixie is in need of a fresh start away from her cheating
ex-husband, but she may be biting off more than she can chew
when she moves to upstate New York to run her family’s famed
Silver Bullet Diner. Not only is she caught off guard by the
small town’s resident heartthrob, Deputy Ty Brisco, but her
first health inspection turns into a nightmare…when the
inspector keels over in his Blue Plate Special. It seems someone made a deadly addition to an old family
recipe, and Trixie is determined to find out whodunit. But
between serving up orders and sniffing out clues, she’d
better watch her back—or her next meal might be her last. Includes recipes!
