About this audiobook
Hairstylist Marla Shore gets drawn into a culinary caper that involves murder, sabotage, and fowl play in this delectable cozy mystery.
When hairstylist Marla Shore volunteers for Taste of the World, a fundraiser for her cousin’s favorite charity, she quickly discovers that mixing scissors and sauté pans can be a recipe for disaster. First Chef Pierre's rum-soaked Bananas Foster erupts in his face. Then more chefs drop from the roster like overcooked soufflés and the nonprofit's attorney becomes the victim of fowl play. It’s clear as a consommé that someone is stirring up trouble. With a cunning killer on the loose, Marla has a lot more to worry about than which canapés her chefs should serve.
She teams up with Detective Dalton Vail to untangle the clues. He believes someone from the nonprofit’s board of directors might be involved, but Marla has her own suspicions. As she digs deeper, she realizes their upcoming gala could be more perilous than a hot stove. She’d better sift through the suspects to stop the saboteur before the entire event goes up in flames.
