How unfair could life be? Hayley Snow moved to Key West to be near her boyfriend of one month. Not too much later, he has dumped her for Kirsten Faulkner. Wealthy and spoiled. Kristen is starting up a new magazine and looking for a food critic. Hayley has high hopes of getting the job until she discovers that Kristen is going to be her new boss. Kristen also withdrew Hayley's application. Luckily, Hayley stopped in at the magazine office and spoke to Kristen's partner and resubmitted her application.

Hayley is living on a small boat with an old friend working hard to meet the reviews requirements needed for all the applicants. Chad won't return her set of knives or her grandmother's recipes. When Kristen is found dead after eating a poisoned Key Lime pie, Hayley becomes the prime suspect.

While the police are intent on pinning the murder on her, Hayley is running around trying to solve the murder herself; in between eating at local restaurants and writing her reviews. Hayley finds herself in more danger than she could imagine as the killer starts focusing on her.

In between descriptions of food that will make your mouth water, AN APPETITE FOR MURDER is a very good mystery. Peopled with interesting and unique characters, the reader will enjoy the thoughts of balmy breezes, gorgeous sunsets, and murder.
