Literary caterer Letitia 'Tish' Tarragon fights to save her
reputation and catch a killer when a murder occurs during a fundraising
dinner for the local library.
Letitia 'Tish' Tarragon has just moved to Hobson Glen and opened a new
restaurant and catering business, Cookin' the Books Cafe. So when her
new landlord, Schulyer Thompson, recommends her to Binnie Broderick, the
executive director of the local library, Tish is delighted. Binnie needs
a last-minute caterer to create a literary inspired three-course dinner
for the library's annual fundraiser, one of the highlights of Hobson
Glen's social season.
But there's a problem: Binnie Broderick is a notoriously difficult woman
to please. And when she chokes to death from arsenic poisoning after
dousing her main course in hot sauce, Tish suddenly finds herself
fighting to save her business - and her reputation. It seems that very
few of Hobson Glen's residents escaped Binnie's disapproval. But who
would want her dead, and why?
