The Good Chef Mysteries

Lily Good thought coming home to Pine Grove meant returning to comfort — her daughter, her kitchen, and the steady rhythm of life she was rebuilding after years as a detective. But when a local butcher is found dead and a hidden room full of illicit mushrooms is uncovered, Lily is pulled back into a world she hoped she’d left behind.

As old family secrets surface and danger creeps closer to her own doorstep, Lily’s fears sharpen: someone knows where she lives, who she loves, and how to scare her. With Violet’s safety on the line and Lance doing everything he can to keep them both protected, Lily must confront a truth she’s been avoiding — solving mysteries is part of who she is… and it always comes with a cost.

But in a town she loves, surrounded by the people who believe in her, Lily leans into her courage, her instincts, and the comfort of a kitchen that has always grounded her. What she uncovers will test her heart, her resilience, and the thin line between protecting the people you love and losing them.

An intimate, heartfelt cozy mystery about family, fear, and the strength it takes to keep going — even when the next threat lands on your doorstep.
