By Victoria Hamilton

Book Overview

A perplexing murder on a local river leads Jaymie into uncharted waters in the new Vintage Kitchen Mystery from the author of Sieve and Let Die . . .Despite the brutally cold winter, vintage cookware collector Jaymie M ller is happy to help out a friend by looking after a colony of cats while its caretakers are away. The location on a high bluff overlooking the St. Clair River makes for bone-chilling work, and her task takes on an air of menace when an elderly neighbor reports suspicious goings-on at the river. Jaymie's inclined to dismiss the woman's fears as the product of an overactive imagination, but it's not long before she discovers a dead body there. When it becomes clear the dead man was the victim of foul play, Jaymie turns to the older woman looking for more information. What she learns is that the river has long been used for illicit smuggling, and Jaymie suspects there was a falling out among thieves. But then mysterious clues begin turning up at the cat colony and another victim is found, and Jaymie realizes there's something much more sinister behind the killings. And while cats may have nine lives, Jaymie has just one, and she discovers too late that she's perilously close to losing it . . .Includes a vintage recipe Praise for the Vintage Kitchen Mysteries: "All the right ingredients . . .
