TWO COOKS A-KILLING
By: Joanne Pence
Sleuth/chef Angie Amalfi doesn't expect homicide for the holidays, but she soon gets stirred into a stew brewing among the former cast members of a now-defunct soap opera.
Angie Amalfi has been offered a chance of a lifetime. She is to prepare a Christmas meal for the reunion special of her favorite soap opera, Eagle Crest. This meant she had to be separated from her San Francisco homicide detective finace Paavo Smith. But it is only for a short time.
The special is being filmed at the Waterfield estate owned by Dr. Sterling Waterfield. Dr. Waterfield, a friend of Angie’s father, is a widower and lives with his two sons, Junior and Silver. Junior once dated Angie’s sister, Frannie, but things hadn’t worked out.
Eagle Crest had ended ten years earlier, but now the cast was being reassembled for a ten year reunion, a Christmas reunion.
When she arrives, she finds the crew there, but no stars have arrived. She also finds out that Emery Tarleton, the director, wants her to recreate the Christmas meal from an earlier Christmas show and that the actress Brittany Keegan who had played Julia Parker had died in the house. The official reports were that she died in Los Angeles, but in reality she had died in the house. Worse yet, she fell out of the window of the third floor bedroom Angie has been given!
Soon Angie becomes aware that someone is trying to sabotage the filming. The actors arrive and it is soon apparent that they are not very friendly
Angie starts looking into the death of Brittany. It was classified as a suicide, but things just don’t appear to be so simple. Many things happen on the set and Angie knows that she needs to unravel the mystery before someone else is hurt, including herself.
I like this series. Angie is a very likeable character. The soap opera actors in this book are so realistic and Angie is the ultimate fan put into a very strange situation.
The setting of an estate really assists in this book because everyone is living together but they can leave the estate when needed.
I highly recommend this book and series.
