Murder Made From Scratch: A Gurley Summers Cozy Mystery

By Rhea S. Brown

A small-town chef, her mischievous sheepdog, and a mystery too dangerous to ignore.

Sous Chef Gurley Summers escaped her wacky relatives for the peaceful mountain town of Cedarbrook, craving nothing more than perfect knife work and flawless flavor profiles. Instead, she finds the pet store owner's dead body.

When the police stamp Gurley as their prime suspect, she must use her big city charm to gather evidence and clear her name. But playing Sherlock is threatening the restaurant job she fought so hard to land, and her meddling has painted a target on her back.

Now she's sneaking around town with wires under her apron, discovering that Cedarbrook isn't the quiet haven she thought. Her investigation uncovers a menu of suspects: the victim's bitter estranged daughter desperate for her inheritance, the ruthless rival business owner with underworld connections, and Martha, the seemingly sweet gossip queen harboring deadly secrets.

With the hyper help of Blaze, a hyperactive Australian Shepherd, Gurley must prove her innocence and catch the real killer, or her goose will be permanently cooked.
