Description
She's serving up soup -- with a side of gunpowder.
Aspiring chef Bethany Bradstreet dreams of opening her own restaurant, but she knows she has to work her way up from her current job as a fry cook. So when her real estate developer boyfriend offers her a sweet catering gig, she jumps at the chance to cook for his gala and rub elbows with the town's elite.
The problem? That fancy gala is only happening because her best friend's home was burned down by an arsonist. And the more Bethany learns about her boyfriend's planned development, the more she suspects that he might have had something to do with the crime.
Determined to uncover the arsonist's identity, Bethany cooks her way through the gala, listening to the secrets, lies, and gossip swirling around the neighborhood. But when someone close to her is killed during the party -- and the murder weapon is found in her pot of clam chowder -- Bethany finds herself in more than a little hot water.
