Description
The witty new story from the bestselling author of The Secret Book & Scone Society series is perfect for bibliophiles who love a A Bookish Cook-Off with a little murder on the side… “Love Chopped and mysteries? This delightful character-driven cozy is just the treat for you.”— Kirkus Reviews Six chefs are preparing to compete in an outdoor tent at Storyton Hall in Virginia for prizes that will boost their careers—but is there someone who can’t stand the heat? It looks that way when one of the contestants is found dead in a pantry packed with two centuries’ worth of cookbooks, among other treasures and rarities. Could there be a connection to other recent events in town, like tampering with the costume of a local mascot? Jane isn’t sure, but after someone serves a second course of murder, the kitchen must be closed and the killer must be found . . . “Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.”—Suspense Magazine on Murder in the Locked Library

Kirkus Book Review
A renowned Virginia hotel hosts murder and mayhem. A made-for-television cook-off hosted by wildly popular Mia Mallett and featuring several famous chefs seems like a win-win for Jane Steward, doyenne of Storyton Hall. The rural hotel, a haven for book lovers and foodies alike, is completely booked by crew members and people eager to watch the filming. The first hint of trouble is a fire in the field where the kitchen tents are set up. Luckily, there's just a little scorching. When a gas grill blows up, however, it burns an employee and rouses Jane's suspicions. Director Tyler Scott is happy to have Chef Pierce among the competitors, for he adds drama to the proceedings. But when the obnoxious visiting chef is found dead in hotel chef Mrs. Hubbard's cookbook nook amid the wreckage of some formerly valuable china, Jane realizes that she and her capable crew will have to pitch in to help the local sheriff. Jane really likes two of her guests: Mia, whose love of food is palpable and infectious, and famous author Olivia Limoges, who's rented a cottage looking for a change to help her over her writer's block. Although most of the chefs seem very nice too, some of them have well-founded grievances against Pierce, leaving Jane with more suspects than time to reveal a killer who seems poised to strike again. Love Chopped and mysteries? This delightful character-driven cozy is just the treat for you. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
