Murder at the Culinary Showdown

A Clementine Harper Cozy Mystery Book 4

Murder and Mayhem in Maplewood: A Culinary Catastrophe!

When retired teacher and innkeeper Clementine “Clem” Harper hosts the "Coastline Cooks" competition at her charming Honey Hollow Inn, she dreams of culinary glory.

But the festivities turn deadly when the loathed food critic Simon Crane is found dead in her pantry, a mysterious silver trinket clutched in his hand.

Joined by her gossipy best friend Mabel Pipkin and the handsome, retired detective Finn Adler, Clem leaps into the investigation, her meddling nature and overthinking sparkling comedic chaos.

With her clever tabby cat Evie as a master clue-finder, they navigate a cast of quirky contestants, from anxious Chef Poppy, whose stolen recipes could lead to revenge, to Lucas, the defensive caterer whose family legacy was tarnished by Simon’s cruelty.

The investigation intensifies when Clem receives a threatening note "Guess who will be next?".

Now this amateur sleuth must catch a killer before Maplewood's dream of making headlines is dashed, and Clem ends up in the grave.
