Local food and drink writer Haley Powell thinks she's done solving
murders in scenic Bar Harbor, Maine. But when a taste of the South comes
to New England, Haley's following another recipe for disaster. . .
As a single mom, Hayley Powell already has a full plate--she's got
deadlines to make and a teenage daughter with eyes for an aspiring
singer-songwriter. But when country music superstar Wade Springer rolls
into town, Hayley spies an irresistible side gig: personal chef to her
all-American idol. After he tries her home cooking, Wade's so impressed
that he hires her on the spot--and invites her to dine with him alone.
Hayley and Wade are hitting all the right notes. . .until a body turns
up. Wade's tour bus was torched overnight and a roadie named Mickey
Pritchett came out well-done. But the real cause of death isn't
barbecue: Mickey was shot, his mouth stuffed with one of Hayley's
trademark chicken legs. An ornery drunk, Mickey had already made plenty
of enemies in town, but Wade's reputation is on the rocks. Hayley
reckons it's up to her to settle this mess--a charbroiled mystery with
all the fixin's.
Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!
