Two sisters get into catering and crimesolving in “a delicious mystery…that will have readers begging for second helpings” (Leslie Maier). Bernadette Simmons wasn't sure what to expect when she left L.A.—and her no-good, cheating boyfriend—to move back in with her family in New York. And her sister Libby had no idea what she was in for when she hired Bernie to work for her catering business. But in between cutting up canapés and dishing up desserts, the two find themselves in the midst of a mystery they can sink their teeth into… Right now they’re baking cookies and slicing rare beef tenderloin to serve at a high school reunion. The dinner has a Dracula theme and a very strange guest of honor: Laird Wrenn, a New York Times-bestselling author of vampire novels. Libby and Bernie know this will be an evening unlike any other. And they're proven right when Laird pours a glass of water, takes a long sip—and drops stone-cold dead. Now, with murder on the menu and Libby under suspicion, the sisters must put their heads together to figure out whodunit, in a mystery that promises to be deadly to the very last bite.Includes 7 delectable recipes for you to try! “A naturally flowing narrative, lively and likeable characters, and plenty of clever word play amid the foul play set this first novel above the common run of cozies.”—Publishers Weekly “Fans who love culinary mysteries are going to gain pounds after reading this delicious who-done-it.”—I Love a Mystery

"This was just MWAH, perfect.<br/>Maybe I jus have a soft spot for middle-aged catering ladies, but I got hooked and didn't stop 'till I reached the end.<br/><br/>The vintage air of it all, I'm in love with everything about this book. Sisterly bond, food, murder, it's got everything I like!<br/><br/>Maybe I finally found the way to scratch the itch that has been bothering me for so long, so expect a lot more ramblings about this series."
