About the book
Charcuterie trays may be featured on the menu, but murder is the main dish at this event. The excitement is palpable as charcuterie chef Katie Aubrey is invited to showcase her impressive creations at a special library event with renowned mystery authors.
The only problem? The pesky ghost of former food critic Edith Ellroy refuses to leave Katie alone, constantly offering unsolicited advice at the most inconvenient times. But Katie's bigger concern is her demanding Aunt Regina, who unexpectedly decides to stay at her house instead of her parents' home.
To add to the chaos, Regina is a senior editor with connections to the authors attending the event, all of whom could potentially incriminate her. The delicious charcuterie trays are overshadowed by the discovery of a dead body in the library's fountain, with the victim having clashed with Regina earlier.
When Regina's bracelet is found with the man's hair, she becomes the prime suspect. As Katie juggles her business and tries to unravel the mystery, more bodies appear, leading all fingers to point at her aunt. With Edith's interference causing chaos, Katie must act swiftly to uncover the true killer.
