About the book
The latest in the New York Times bestselling author’s enormously popular culinary cozy series featuring a young Martha Stewart in the making, the maven of entertaining and sometimes sleuth Sophie Winston. Delicious recipes and a picturesque setting make this a delight for fans of Diane Mott Davidson and M.C. Beaton as Sophie must see through the lies of the potential suspects and try to keep a killer at a convention of ghost kitchens from making a ghost of one of the guests…
Sophie is currently occupied with managing the inaugural conference for the Association of Ghost Kitchens, which are restaurants that exclusively offer delivery services. However, she is taking a brief break to attend a lunch meeting hosted by A Healthy Meal. This organization is committed to providing meals for underprivileged children, and it also gives Sophie a chance to admire the luxurious Old Town residence of socialite Geraldine Stansfield. Gerrie's dining room is elegantly decorated, with a table adorned with sparkling crystal and valuable china. Despite the unfortunate presence of a deceased individual on the floor, everything else appears to be flawless.
The identity of the victim remains unknown, as no one has come forward to claim knowledge of him. Through some discreet investigation, Sophie uncovers connections between the deceased and several prominent local figures. Interestingly, not only was he a former client of Geraldine's late husband, who was an attorney, but every member of the Stansfield family was acquainted with him. However, only one person knows the reason for his presence in Gerrie's residence.
Although Gerrie's stylish home appears pristine, there are hidden secrets within the family's history. Now, Sophie must convince the killer to confess before they ruin another meal – permanently.
