Mystery Culinary | Mystery Cozy | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Sports are right up Jordan's alley but the only thing she gets to write is a cooking column in the local paper. Thanks to Jordan's neighbors, the column is a big success. Jordan can't cook to save her life. When the opportunity comes up to be a judge at a cooking contest on a cruise, she can't turn down the opportunity. All her neighbors come along to help her and to enjoy the food.

One by one the contestants get hurt, fall ill and then one dies. Once again Jordan finds herself in the midst of an investigation at sea.

Peopled with usual quirky characters and unusual situations, Ms. Lipperman has another winner on her hands. Fans of comedic mystery should seek these out.

SUMMARY

A sports writing job would have been the perfect catch for Jordan McAllister, but in Ranchero, Texas, all she could reel in was the food column. Though she may not know her way around a kitchen, she has no trouble finding herself in a kettle of fish…

Tempted by the offer of a free Caribbean cruise, Jordan accepts a spot as a judge in a week-long big-time cooking competition aboard the Carnation Queen. She just better hope no one finds out that her famous palate is far from refined.

But there are bigger fish to fry when arrogant chef Stefano Mancini falls face first into his signature halibut dish during the first event. While evidence suggests that the handsome Italian chef’s death was an accident, Jordan thinks otherwise. But she’ll have to keep her wits about her—and the sea sickness pills handy—if she’s going to solve this one…
