Val Deniston certainly
has her plate full running a café, dabbling with recipes, and helping
her grandfather prepare for the town's upcoming tri-centennial
celebration, but she's grown fond of her new life in the Chesapeake Bay
town of Bayport. . .
So when Val is asked to reclaim her old position as a cookbook publicist in New York City, she puts off her decision in order to help her grandfather perfect his chocolate fondue for the weekend festivity's dessert cook-off. But after the opening ceremonies, Val finds a houseguest strangled to death in her grandfather's backyard. She suspects a classic case of mistaken identity, especially when another guest nearly bids her life a fondue farewell. Now it's up to Val to keep the killer from making another stab at murder . . .
Includes 6 five-ingredient recipes!

My Take:
I cannot say enough about how much I love this series. The location in
perfect. The characters are all lovable and the story line is great.
Plus you have recipes to die for. What is not to love?
