In the midst of a cook-off at a posh spa, southern PI Sarah
Booth Delaney gets embroiled in a juicy murder in the latest
mystery from Carolyn Haines.
For many years Jitty, Dahlia House’s resident ghost, has
dreamed that Sarah Booth Delaney would have a child to
inherit the family’s ancestral home. Sarah Booth has always
had reservations about being a parent. There was her work as
an actress and PI, taking care of the house, not to mention
finding the right man. But when Jitty’s dream finally looks
like it’s going to come true, Sarah Booth is crushed when it
doesn’t. Depressed, unable to act or investigate, Sarah
Booth finally allows her best friend to whisk her away for a
luxurious weekend vacation at a special spa and cooking school.
The pampering and food go a long way toward making her feel
like her old self, but there’s another welcome
distraction—there’s a beauty contest/cook-off going on to
find the spa’s next spokesperson, and watching the drama
really takes her mind off of her woes. Sarah finds the
backbiting to be great fun—until the heated competition
boils over, the top contender is poisoned, and the prime
suspect hires Sarah Booth to clear her name.
Between swimsuit competitions and soufflés, Sarah Booth
Delaney and her best friend and partner, Tinkie, must find
out which of the ambitious young ladies is to blame in Bone
Appetit, the latest in Carolyn Haines’s delightfully
Southern cozy mystery series.
