The last thing Val needs in her life is an unsolved murder, especially when the victim, an actor famed for impersonating Edgar Allan Poe, happens to be dressed exactly like her Granddad. To keep an eye on Granddad, whose latest job takes him to the home of Rick Usher, a local author inspired by Poe, Val gets herself hired as a cook in Rick's House of Usher. When she discovers the actor wasn't the only one doing an impersonation, separating the innocent from the murderous becomes a real-life horror story. But Val must decipher a killer's M.O. sooner rather than later . . . or she can forget about finding poetic justice.
Val is up over her ears in problems, firstly the manager of the health club seems to want to close the cafe down (even though it is turning a nice profit), her Grandfather has suddenly had a make-over, but the worst of it is that she sees someone who LOOKS like her Grandfather and he has just dropped dead!
Gunner is in the frame for that death, her Grandfather has been asked to impersonate a local author (hence the make-over) and Val has an evening catering gig. In between all this she needs to write and trial more 5 ingredient recipes, oh and find out who murdered the actor (out of rather a large cast of people)!
