Produktbeschreibung

Charcuterie trays may be on the menu, but murder is on the bill



Excitement is in the air as charcuterie chef Katie Aubrey is asked to showcase her magnificent creations for a once-in-a-lifetime library event featuring world-renowned mystery authors. The only snafu is Edith Ellroy, the obnoxious ghost and former food critic who just can't stand to leave Katie alone. And while Edith means well by offering advice, she has a penchant for interfering at the worst moments. But that's not what's troubling Katie. Her demanding Aunt Regina, who was supposed to stay at her parents' house for a visit, is now planning on staying at Katie's, and Katie cannot say no.

To make matters worse, Regina is the senior editor for a major publisher and has a laundry list of authors, some of whom will be at the library event, ready and waiting to string her up to dry! And while the charcuterie trays are absolutely savory and stunning, the dead body that surfaces in the library's waterfall fountain is anything but! It turns out to be a noted author who managed to butt heads with Katie's aunt throughout the event. And when Regina's bracelet is found in the fountain with the man's hair wrapped around it, she becomes the primary murder suspect.

And while Katie tries to run her business as usual, it becomes virtually impossible. From crazed fans to an author mourning party, she thinks she has seen it all. But when another body crops up, the fingers can't move fast enough to point to Regina. And Edith's meddling means more mayhem and misery. If Katie doesn't move quickly, the real killer will!

Autorenporträt

AUTHOR BIO: Ann I. Goldfarb and James E. Clapp, writing as J.C. Eaton Ann I. Goldfarb New York native Ann I. Goldfarb spent most of her life in education, first as a classroom teacher and later as a middle school principal and professional staff developer. Writing as J. C. Eaton, along with her late husband, James Clapp, they have authored the Sophie Kimball Mysteries (Kensington, Beyond the Page), The Wine Trail Mysteries (Kensington Lyrical Underground and Beyond the Page Publishing), The Charcuterie Shop Mysteries (Level Best Books) and the Marcie Rayner Mysteries (Camel). This current novel was authored by both writers. Ann is continuing the Sophie Kimball series as well as the Charcuterie Shop Mysteries with Jim's notes, plotlines and spirit. In addition, she has nine published YA time travel mysteries under her own name and three award-winning screenplays. When she's not catering to two demanding Chihuahuas and two annoying felines, she's swimming to escape the Arizona heat, frequenting coffee shops, or finding herself tethered to her desk, writing! James E. Clapp When James E. Clapp retired as the tasting room manager for a large upstate New York winery, he never imagined he would co-author cozy mysteries with his wife, Ann I. Goldfarb. Non-fiction in the form of informational brochures and workshop materials treating the winery industry were his forte, along with an extensive background and experience in construction that started with his service in the U.S. Navy and included vocational school classroom teaching. Writing became a genuine passion for him, and he will be missed. His murder notebook, along with numerous plotlines, are now fodder for Ann.
