A Dish Best Served Dead
When a food convention turns fatal, Tiffany Austin will have to cook up a scheme to catch a killer . . .

The national Foodie Fest is in town and food blogger Tiffany Austin is thrilled to report on the event, even if it means crossing paths with an arrogant and annoying chef from her past. The man can't help boasting of his success, but he also lets slip to Tiffany that he's publishing a tell-all memoir that will be filled with scandalous secrets about many people in the food industry. It's a risky career move, and maybe just plain risky, as Tiffany discovers later that day when she finds the chef's dead body mere steps from the convention center.

With any number of reputations and careers at stake if the chef's memoir were ever published, Tiffany realizes virtually everyone at the event is a suspect. Wending her way through the convention crowd in her guise as a reporter, she cautiously questions as many of the participants as she can, hoping to unearth a telling clue or a false alibi. Because while everyone has a skeleton or two in the closet, Tiffany knows someone at the food fest has a secret they'd kill to protect—and would kill for again if she gets too close to the truth . . .

Includes scrumptious Foodie Fest recipes!
