Museum Gala Murder

A Wickedly Clever Culinary Cozy Mystery

A museum gala. A forged antiquity. Tea and treachery.

When Fiona Firth's bistro caters Seacliff Springs’ most elegant event, she expects excellent reviews, not a body. But when the town's sharp-tongued curator drops dead mid-toast, Fiona's signature tea service becomes the prime evidence.

The official ruling: natural causes. Fiona's intuition: murder dressed in ceremony.

With her restaurant's reputation on the line and the real killer still walking free, Fiona does what any bistro owner with a talent for observation would do: she starts asking questions. Aided by her loyal staff, a too-clever cat, and an instinct for what smells wrong, she digs into the museum's elegant facade.

But someone in Seacliff Springs' glittering elite is hiding secrets worth killing for. A switched artifact. A nervous technician. A collector with a hair-trigger temper.

The closer Fiona gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. And if she can't unmask the culprit before they strike again, The Perennial's event might be her last.
