At this wedding reception, the cake’s not the only thing getting sliced.

Dallas chef Kat Calloway thought catering a high-society wedding reception would be good for business until the city’s most conniving socialite is found dead at the reception, stabbed with Kat’s own chef’s knife.

Now Kat’s career is on the chopping block, her sharp-tongued grandmother is a prime suspect, and the cops think Kat might be serving up more than hors d’oeuvres. With her tuxedo cat Tux sniffing out secrets and her staff simmering with frustration, Kat dives into a mystery stuffed with feuding relatives, flaky alibis, and one all too-charming nephew who’s hiding something behind that polished smile.

The guest list is full of secrets, the kitchen’s boiling over, and time is running out. If Kat can’t crack the case, she’ll lose her reputation, her restaurant and possibly her life.

Murder’s not on the menu… but someone’s about to get served.

The Kat Calloway Cozy Mysteries are warm and twisty culinary cozies filled with delicious food, quirky suspects, loyal friends, found family, a touch of romance, plenty of humor, and one clever tuxedo cat who always seems to know more than he’s telling. Each mystery can be enjoyed as a standalone, but you may find yourself wanting to stay for another course.

What Readers Are Saying: Readers love the fast-paced mysteries, growing suspense, and twists that keep them turning pages long past bedtime. They especially enjoy Kat’s close-knit circle of friends, her relationship with Bash, the unforgettable Gramartha, and, of course, Tux. And the recipes waiting at the end are always a delicious bonus.

Author’s Promise: This cozy mystery is human developed and human written, with a promise of clean, page-turning fun. You’ll find no profanity, no graphic violence, and no explicit bedroom scenes, just mystery, friendship, found family, a little danger, and recipes from Kat’s kitchen waiting at the end.

Murder suspects!

Murder suspects! Whoever was there could be the culprit. Interesting structure; the author manages to build the suspense and maintain it until the very end. I really enjoyed it; it's cozy, easy to read, and still exciting.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys light reading and who's into detective work.
