Recipe for Murder

Pricilla Crumb has a problem. She's been asked by her son, Nathan, the owner of a hunting lodge in Rendezvous, Colorado, to fill in for his chef who's come down with West Nile virus. Whipping up a fabulous meal for guests at the hunting lodge isn't problematic for the culinary-gifted widow. But trying to explain why one of them dropped dead after sampling one of her salmon-filled tartlets proves to be a little more challenging. After a hurried autopsy, the results come back. The good news is that it wasn't Pricilla's cooking that killed Charles Woodruff. The bad news is that he was definitely murdered - and a killer may still be lurking among the remaining guests at the lodge. To add to the confusion, Pricilla's long-time friend Max may want more than just friendship - something that Pricilla isn't sure she's comfortable with. However, romance does seem to be blooming between Trisha, Max's daughter, and Nathan. That is until Nathan is suspected of murder! I truly enjoyed this fun-filled mystery. I especially liked Pricilla's plan to coax a confession from several suspects using her fabulous homemade beef stew. Forget passé police interrogation techniques - Pricilla's cuisine reigns supreme! Lisa Harris has mixed together just the right ingredients in "Recipe for Murder."
