LIVER LET DIE: A CLUELESS COOK MYSTERY
Available now from Berkley Prime Crime
Jordan McAllister dreams of becoming a popular sports columnist but gets stuck in a podunk town writing personal ads for a small time newspaper. When she's offered a chance to fill in for a local food critic off on sick leave, she jumps at the chance rationalizing that it's one step closer to her dream. However, when a dead body is found underneath her apartment stairwell with her name and number along with it, she becomes the prime suspect, as well as the main course on the murder menu.
...From rattlesnake pasta to chocolate decadence cake, “Liver Let Die,” will keep you guessing, laughing and reading. It combines fun, romance, red herrings, sports and stolen diamonds — a recipe for a successful new series
..Lisa Allmendinger, AnnArbor.com.
A secondary plot about sports and anger management interweaves nicely with the primary action and strengthens this engaging series debut. Jordon’s personality and supporting cast suggest a winning season ahead.
