Samantha Barnes was always a foodie. And when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chef’s clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot.
The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy. And the town’s harbor master is none other than her first love. Nonetheless, Sam’s looking forward to reviewing the Bayview Grill—and indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Sam is certain this is murder. But as she begins to stir the pot, is she creating a recipe for her own untimely demise?

A Cape Cod native returning home to settle an estate barely escapes death--and not all her neighbors are so lucky. Samantha Barnes left the Cape to follow her love of cooking to the Culinary Institute of America and New York's finest restaurant. When her great-aunt Ida passes away, leaving everything to Sam, soon after an embarrassing feud with her ex, another chef, goes viral, she decides to bid farewell to New York. Although Ida's house needs work, it's in a prime location, and seeing Jenny and Miles, her high school best buds, is an added treat. Sam also enjoys the company of next-door neighbor Helene, though not so much the enormous puppy that comes with Ida's house. Krista Baker, who became editor-in-chief of the newspaper when Sam's parents retired, offers her a job reviewing restaurants. Her first assignment is the restaurant where she worked as a teen. Its new owners prepare great food, but the experience is spoiled by the dead body Sam finds floating near the dock, especially when she recognizes Estelle, the waitress who broke up her long-ago romance with Jason Captiva. After the body floats away while Sam goes for help, Jason, now the harbormaster, arrives to take charge, arousing feelings Sam had thought long dead. Somehow sleuthing seems like a good idea, and Sam is soon involved in old secrets and town feuds as she tries to discover who killed Estelle. Cape Cod provides a stunning background for a debut that offers the ideal combination of mystery, romance, and recipes.COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
