Mystery Cozy

In need of a change, Jenna Hart leaves the high–pressure world of advertising to help her aunt, Vera, open a culinary bookshop and café. Back with her family in Crystal Cove, California, Jenna seems to have all the right ingredients for a fresh start—until someone adds a dash of murder.

As a marketing expert, Jenna wants to make sure the grand opening of the Cookbook Nook draws a crowd, and no one is better at getting attention than her old college roommate, celebrity chef Desiree Divine. But when Desiree arrives in quiet Crystal Cove to do a cookbook signing, the diva stirs up more trouble than business...especially when she turns up dead.

Known for stealing husbands and burning bridges, Desiree left behind plenty of suspects—including Jenna. Though the celebrity's life always appeared to be an open book, Jenna will have to read between the lines in order to clear her name, and catch a killer before another body is served cold.

Sean Connery, Cary Grant, and George Clooney. Right now. Tomorrow my
answer might be different. :)

I would have to pick Robert Downey Jr, Hugh Jackman, and Johnny Depp. That's thinking off the top of my head, as you said, and I'm just starting my first cup of coffee!! I can't wait to read your book!! It sounds great, and knowing the background makes me want it in my hands immediately even more!! The cover is so cute and colorful, and I'm sure it's going to do well!! Congratulations!!
(Peggy Roberson 8:20am July 3, 2013)

Clark Gable, William Powell, Alan Rickman
I love the old movies and dialogue - Nick and Nora is a must too.
(Carla Carlson 10:38am July 3, 2013)

Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr. and Denzel Washington.

I wrote a cryptic cheeseboard puzzle some years ago, people had great fun trying to hunt down all the cheeses in it. Great idea for a series.
(Clare O'Beara 9:43am July 5, 2013)

Nathan Filian, Bradley Cooper, Steve Carell are all funny and
can be serious, too. I love books that have recipes in the
back, like romantic mysteries and, of course, cookbooks.
(Alyson Widen 5:32pm July 5, 2013)

Culinary romance and culinary mysteries are my fave
books
