Building a small business has been murder, but Callie Costas didn’t expect to be confronted with an actual body. The 36-year-old Greek-American proprietor of “Callie's Kitchen,” a meals-from-scratch business in an idyllic small town, has been busy creating a post-divorce life for herself, her young daughter and her Yorkie, Koukla. After a lot of hard work (including staving off her father’s continual advice), she’s got the locals and tourists clamoring for her delicious Mediterranean dishes and Midwest comfort food classics. Recently, she’s started a budding romance with a fellow foodie, the wealthy owner and chef of Crystal Bay’s most popular bistro.
However, success is as fleeting as one of Wisconsin’s glorious autumn days. As local businesses begin to shut down due to a slow economy, Callie is struggling not to become another statistic. A contest with a hefty cash prize seems like the perfect chance to fix her financial woes, until a shocking murder threatens not only her livelihood – but her life.
When she’s targeted as a prime suspect by an attractive expat British detective, Callie’s situation becomes more delicate than her Greek egg-lemon soup. She’s got to find the killer and fast if she wants to protect her daughter, save her business and stay alive.
Greek food and murder, one heck of a combination!
Calliope "Callie" Costas has started dating again after her divorce (but hasn't told her young daughter or her father, her father is rather overly protective being a) Greek and b) having brought Callie up pretty much single handed after the death of her mother), it should all be going swimmingly, but ends up in stormy weather when Callie discovers her romantic interest well and truly dead!
Now with the police (in particular a rather attractive Detective Sands) looking at her as the main person of interest, Callie needs to cook something up quickly if she in't going to be cooking in a prison kitchen!
