Fudge Brownies & Murder
From bestselling mystery author Janel Gradowski comes another deliciously deadly mystery... Culinary whiz and reluctant amateur sleuth, Amy Ridley, has a lot on her plate. Her very pregnant best friend, Carla, can barely move from her couch per doctor's orders. So Amy is tasked with preparing meals for the expanding family along with baking endless pans of brownies to quench Carla's pregnancy cravings. Not only is she playing chef, but she's also trying to convince the mommy-to-be that she needs to have a baby shower. But when a restaurant owner is murdered at a blogging conference, Amy finds herself in a race to catch the killer before the baby is born. As Carla's baby bump gets bigger, so does the list of suspects. While Amy pares down the potential murderers and staves off disgruntled cooking competition rivals, the clock ticks down, the baby's arrival draws closer, and the danger grows stronger! If Amy doesn't watch her back, she may be the next member of the competition going down. **Recipes Included!** Culinary Competition Mysteries: Pies & Peril (book #1) Chicken Soup & Homicide (book #2) Christmas Canapés & Sabotage (short story) Doughnuts & Deadly Schemes (book #3) Barbecue & Bad Juju (short story in the "Killer Beach Reads" collection) Fudge Brownies & Murder (book #4) What critics are saying about the Culinary Competition Mysteries: "PIES & PERIL is the perfect cozy to curl up with in your favorite chair or at the beach while enjoying some sun.
