Killer in the Kitchen

A Chesapeake Bay Mystery

De: Judy L. Murray

Narrado por: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

Murder is on the menu: A celebrity chef poisoned. A bay town reeling. A sleuth pursued.

Real estate rule #2: How to sell a house fast: Offer a drop-dead kitchen.

When real estate pro Helen Morrisey’s bombshell daughter, Lizzie, a popular home-shopping network host, invites her to meet an internationally famous chef, Helen jumps at the chance. What woman doesn’t want to shake hands with a celebrity and do a little shopping at the same time?

Even more intriguing, this culinary superstar is about to sell his waterfront mansion, and it’s her opportunity to talk business. After all, he couldn’t choose a sharper agent than Helen, could he? That’s a job that comes to a dead halt when she walks onto the TV kitchen of “Cooking with Roberto” to find his blood dripping bright red into his signature dish and her daughter collapsed beside him.

Detective Joe McAllister arrives to take charge and is none too pleased to find Helen asking his questions. Their on again, off again, romance might sour when she ignores his warnings. Undaunted, Helen calls on the personalities and special skills of her Detection Club of famous sleuths to stir this investigation pot.

It doesn’t take long before the explosive ingredients of off-camera jealousy, competition, and nasty rumors create a recipe for disaster. Helen has to solve Roberto’s murder before more tempers boil over and they all get burned.

Killer in the Kitchen is a good book, but the questionable decisions by the MC were annoying.

Another visit with friends

This is the second book in the Chesapeake bay Mystery series by Judy Murray
Just like the first book “Murder in the Master” I was hooked from the start. A great “who done it” with lots of twist and turns. The characters are so relatable, Judy does a great job bringing them to life.
They become your friends as you read along. The author also does a incredible job describing the scenery and surrounding area of the fictional town, Port Ann and upper Chesapeake, where the stories take place. Makes you want to visit the upper Chesapeake and the many little bay side towns along the way. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery. Great read, you won’t want to put it down. Can’t wait to read the third. JFR

Another winner!

The area descriptions are really good and put you in the environment. I want to move to this town! Please keep this series going.
