Synopsis

Award-winning author Dorothy Cannell serves up a delectable English cozy murder mystery . . . to die for.

Married to the man of her dreams and expecting a darling little bundle of joy, Ellie Haskell is excited to put her feet up and play the part of pampered wife for the next nine months.

But handsome hubby Ben has other ideas. He whisks her off to America for an exclusive gourmet cooking competition in Mud Creek, Illinois. And worse, they're staying in crumbling old gothic mansion that's straight out of a horror movie!

Then two of their fellow chefs mysteriously disappear one night. Is this a haunted house? Or is someone cooking up more than they bargained for?

Ellie decides to get to the bottom of these deliciously deadly goings-on—before her own husband is the next to vanish.
