The Novel Idea Literary Agency is sponsoring a festival.
They've invited some famous cooks who have new cookbooks
coming out.
Lila and the others will learn that the personality the cook
reflects on the air isn't always reality based as they work
with the chefs. When one of the chefs is killed, Lila must
find out what happens so that Taste of the Town doesn't end
after its first year.
As Lila investigates, she will learn that everyone's
favorite chef, is a phony. The recipes she is so famous for
aren't even hers. Her personal life is a mess and it
appears the killer was really after her.
BOOKS, COOKS, AND CROOKS will keep the reader enthralled
even as they despise the chef who is the obsession of the
killer.
The national bestselling Novel Idea Mysteries are back, as Lila Wilkins—literary agent and sleuth—is setting up a delicious cookbook fair. But the tension in the kitchen is about to boil over…
Inspiration Valley, North Carolina, is bubbling with excitement for the Taste of the Town festival, and Lila is right in the middle of it all. Along with her coworkers at the Novel Idea Literary Agency, Lila is organizing a grand celebrity chef event, featuring food television's biggest stars, complete with cooking demonstrations, cookbook giveaways, and even a culinary writing contest.
But just as the celebration is about to start, the demo kitchen blows up, taking one of the star cooks with it. With all the explosive egos of the cook’s colleagues, it’s hard to find someone who didn’t have a motive to eliminate the competition. Now Lila will have to scramble to figure out which of her clients is a killer—before someone else gets burned.
