Add a Pinch of Murder - Paperback

by Joanne Pence (Author)

A house with secrets, an old betrayal, and a murder that won't stay buried...

For gourmet cook Angie Amalfi, life should be heating up-in the kitchen and in her soon-to-be-renovated dream home with Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith. But when a well-heeled socialite's husband drops dead at a glitzy San Francisco fundraiser, the elegant evening curdles into chaos.

As Angie gets drawn into the mystery-complete with cryptic family secrets, a possibly haunted mansion, and a suspiciously loyal terrier-Paavo launches a full-scale investigation of his own. His leads are cold, the suspects slippery, and the clues half-baked. But with poison now linking this case to an earlier, "solved" high-society death, it's clear someone's got murder down to a recipe.

While Angie stirs up answers from the kitchen to the crime scene, Paavo's chasing shadows that could destroy his case-or get Angie killed. Can they uncover the truth before someone serves up another deadly course?

Murder's on the menu-and this time, it's personal.

Dig in to the latest Cook and Inspector mystery-where every clue is served with danger, and murder is always on the menu.
