Cat has a full plate at her Aspen Hills Warm Springs Resort, as a group of aspiring cozy mystery authors arrives for a writers retreat. So when baker Dee Dee Meyer stirs up trouble by filing a false complaint with the health inspector against the B&B–all because she insists Cat's best friend Shauna stole her recipes–Cat marches into the shop to confront her.
But Dee Dee's about to have her own batch of trouble. Greyson Finn–a celebrity chef and, until today, one of Denver's most eligible bachelors–has been found dead in her bakery. Cat's uncle Pete, who happens to be the chief of police, warns her not to engage in any half-baked sleuthing. But as her curiosity rises, Cat's determined to discover who served the chef his just desserts–before the killer takes a powder . . .
Wow! Lynn Cahoon has pulled all the stops out to give us a story that keeps you glued to the action from pretty much the first page until the last!
The latest monthly Writer's Retreat is about to start when a local baker, Dee Dee, comes storming into the kitchen accusing Shauna of stealing her recipes, as if that isn't bad enough on the first full morning the health inspector shows up as there has been a complaint! It appears that Dee Dee is determined to ruin Shauna and she left the "anonymous" tip, unsurprisingly there are no problems in the kitchen, the same cannot be said about the retreat, one of the writer's seems to have brought a raft of problems with her, mainly to do with her boyfriend (who seems to be a control freak of the first order), then there is a murder, a chef is found in the bakery with his head bashed in and Cat's Uncle Pete has his hands full trying to solve that.
Although Cat tries to stay out of it with Shauna and Seth being interviewed and then the victim's sister in law claiming SHE wrote Cat's first successful novel, Cat ends up looking into things (and building bridges with the Librarian at the same time), shall we just say it is lucky for one person that she does keep digging – read the book and find out who …. and why!

YA paranormal author and writers’ retreat owner.

Sitting on the back deck drinking adult beverages and chatting with my uncle, Shauna, and Seth. Maybe playing some cards or a fun board game. Or reading by myself in the living room with the fireplace roaring.
