Charcuterie trays may be on the menu, but murder is on the bill

Excitement is in the air as charcuterie chef, Katie Aubrey, is asked to showcase her magnificent creations for a once-in-a-lifetime library event featuring world renown mystery authors. The only snafu is Edith Ellroy, the obnoxious ghost and former food critic who just can’t stand to leave Katie alone. And while Edith means well by offering advice, she has a penchant for interfering at the worst moments. But that’s not what’s troubling Katie. Her demanding Aunt Regina, who was supposed to stay at her parents’ house for a visit, is now planning on staying at Katie’s, and Katie cannot say no.

To make matter worse, Regina is the senior editor for a major publisher and has a laundry list of authors, some of whom will be at the library event, ready and waiting to string her up to dry! And while the charcuterie trays are absolutely savory and stunning, the dead body that surfaces in the library’s waterfall fountain is anything but! It turns out to be a noted author who managed to butt heads with Katie’s aunt throughout the event. And when Regina’s bracelet is found in the fountain with the man’s hair wrapped around it, she becomes the primary murder suspect.

And while Katie tries to run her business as usual, it becomes virtually impossible. From crazed fans to an author mourning party, she thinks she has seen it all. But when another body crops up, the fingers can’t move fast enough to point to Regina. And Edith’s meddling means more mayhem and misery. If Katie doesn’t move quickly, the real killer will!
