Sliced, Diced, and Dead

Charcuterie chef Katie Aubrey is overjoyed when asked to create charcuterie boards for the summer fashion show at the prestigious Hidden Boulders Community in Cave Creek. However, the challenge for Katie isn't designing the complex cured meat and cheese platters but rather, how to deal with Edith Ellory, the annoying food critic ghost who pesters her while she works. Lamentably, that becomes the least of her worries when the fashion show coordinator is found dead in the food pavilion clutching a handful of Katie's pancetta rosettes.

Toxicology reports indicate food poisoning, and Katie's charcuterie shop immediately falls under suspicion, even though none of the other meats showed any hint of foul play.

To make matters worse, the victim had a long and unpleasant history with one of Katie's employees. To save the shop's reputation and vindicate her employee, Katie needs to ditch her white apron and don some decent walking shoes before she becomes the next victim.
