I've been reading and enjoying this mystery.
Book Beginnings...
The sizzle of seared duck fills the kitchen, blending with the sharp tang of citrus and the earthy richness of truffle oil. My hands move on instinct, plating the main course with practiced precision, the whole team humming in quiet coordination.
From 56% on my e-reader...
"That's Tux," I say, trying to sound casual even through I'm weirdly proud. "He adopted me. Just showed up one day and decided I belonged to him."
Synopsis from Goodreads:
A flawless night of fine dining. A deadly twist. Now, Kat Calloway with a little help from her new furry feline friend, Tux is scrambling to clear her name before she’s served up as the prime choice.
Kat Calloway, the rising star chef at Larkspur, is living her dream—until the unthinkable happens. Harrison Vaughn, a cruel, self-important food critic, drops dead after devouring her perfectly plated meal. What was supposed to be a night of culinary perfection crumbles into a hellish disaster.
With Vaughn’s death pinned on her, Kat becomes the main suspect in the murder investigation. The problem? Everyone ate the same meal, but only Vaughn is dead. Someone served up poison —but who? And how?
Ben, her loyal maitre d’ who has a knack for dark humor, also falls under suspicion with his flippant remark of wishing Vaughn a "final course." Together, they dig into the chaos, sifting through half-baked lies and undercooked truths from staff and guests, uncovering a deadlier plot than they ever imagined.
As the pressure rises like a soufflé, Kat must crack open the case before she’s locked up—or worse, becomes the next to bite the bullet.
