Amelia Stark knows three things for sure: chili travels badly, small towns gossip fast, and dead bosses ruin potluck day.

When Amelia hauls gallons of homemade chili into Madison Mechanical, she expects a lukewarm lunch and another round of office nonsense. Instead, she finds police cars in the parking lot, her sleazy boss dead in his office, and herself sitting right at the top of Detective Simon Pendergast’s suspect list.

To be fair, Amelia did recently break the boss’s nose.

Now, with the whole town whispering, her brilliant twelve-year-old son asking uncomfortable questions, and old family secrets bubbling up like a pot left too long on the stove, Amelia has to prove she’s innocent before someone decides she’s the perfect recipe for a murder conviction.

Packed with sharp humor, small-town secrets, suspicious casseroles, and recipes worth surviving for, Killer Comfort Food is a funny, fast-paced cozy culinary mystery where every dish comes with a side of danger.
