Murder on a Silver Platter: A Red Carpet Catering Mystery #1-Shawn Reilly Simmons

Murder on a Silver Platter 

“Delicious! A great read written by someone who knows the behind the scenes world of filmmaking...A winner!” – Kathryn Leigh Scott, Author of the Jinx Fogarty Mysteries

“Loved this book! The characters are well-drawn and it’s cleverly plotted. Totally engrossing…I felt as though I was actually on a movie set. The author is well-versed in her setting and she is able to keep the reader in suspense. I can't wait for the second book in the series.” – Marianna Heusler, Edgar-Nominated Author

“With a likeable cast of characters and an inside look at the movie industry, this was an equally entertaining and engaging debut.” – Dru’s Book Musings

Penelope Sutherland and her Red Carpet Catering company just got their big break as the on-set caterer for an upcoming blockbuster. But when she discovers a dead body outside her house, Penelope finds herself in hot water. Things start to boil over when serious accidents threaten the lives of the cast and crew. And when the film’s star, who happens to be Penelope’s best friend, is poisoned, the entire production is nearly shut down.

Threats and accusations send Penelope out of the frying pan and into the fire as she struggles to keep her company afloat. Before Penelope can dish up dessert, she must find the killer or she’ll be the one served up on a silver platter.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I really, really liked this book. It is the first book that I read by this author and if this is typical of how she writes I will be reading many more. This is a great start to what I hope will be a long line of cozy mysteries.
