Food Blogger Mysteries

Leaving behind a failed career as a magazine editor and an embarrassing stint on a reality baking show, newly divorced lifestyle entrepreneur Hope Early thought things were finally on the upswing-until she comes face-to-face with a murderer... Hope's schedule is already jam packed with recipe testing and shameless plugs for her food blog as she rushes off to attend a spring garden tour in the charming town of Jefferson, Connecticut. Unfortunately, it isn't the perfectly arranged potted plants that grab her attention-it's the bloody body of reviled real estate agent Peaches McCoy...

And suspicions really heat up when another murder occurs the following night. Now, with two messy murders shaking Jefferson and all evidence pointing to Claire, Hope must set aside her burgeoning brand to prove her sister's innocence. But the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to a killer intent on making sure her life goes permanently out of style... Includes Recipes from Hope's Kitchen!

Former reality TV baking show contestant and recent divorcée Hope Early is trying to find her recipe for success as a food blogger-but murder keeps getting in the mix... When Hope's elderly neighbor perishes in a home fire, she can't help but feel somewhat responsible.

As rumors spread like wildfire, Hope is determined to sort out the facts and smoke out a killer, but she might be jumping from the frying pan straight into the fire...
