Overview

When a celebrity chef is murdered, Shell McMillan has to cook up a plan to trap the killer of a man for all seasonings . . .With adopt-a-cat month in full swing in Fox Hollow, pet shop owner Shell McMillan decides that hosting a night of murder mystery dinner theater will be a fun way to raise funds for the cause. But she didn't realize that the celebrity chef she'd hired for the event would turn out to be a tyrannical snob, or that her scoundrel of an ex-fiancé would turn up with his own shady agenda. Still, the show must go on, and as the lighthearted plot on-stage unfolds, the scene off-stage turns decidedly darker when the chef is found murdered.Rather than question an entire roomful of possible suspects, Shell determines that looking into the victim's past will lead her to the culprit more quickly. What she finds is that the chef had left behind a disreputable past and a trail of disgruntled people, including a long string of women he'd wronged and a host of others who may have been out for revenge. But as Shell closes in on the killer, the killer is closing in on her. And she's discovering that while too many cooks can spoil the broth, being a murderer's next target can really ruin your appetite . . . Praise for the books of T. C.
