Mystery Police Procedural | Fiction

Beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is known for seafood, sand, surf, and, now...murder.

Samantha Barnes was always a foodie.  So when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple.  Soon the young chef is a rising star in the city’s food scene—until a feud with another chef (her ex) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits her Great-Aunt Ida’s house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot. 

The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy.  And the town’s new harbormaster is none other than her first love.  Nonetheless, Sam’s looking forward to testing her inner food critic at the Bayview Grille—and indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body floating in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Though the drowning is called an accident, Sam is certain it's murder.  And as she begins to stir the pot, it becomes terrifyingly clear that she may be writing the recipe for her own untimely demise.
