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.
