Chili Con Corpses by J.B. Stanley

In ten words or less: Rich, gorgeous twin is murdered; did killer want her or her sister?

Review: James Henry's life was sputtering like a car running out of gas. He had traded his professorship for a job as a small town library director. Approaching forty, he still shared a house with his cantankerous father. Lucy, his girlfriend, was busy getting in shape for a sheriff's exam, and was spending more time with her buff workout partner than with James.

When drop-dead gorgeous twins moves to town, both the men and women of James' circle of friends take notice. The twins join the friends at a weekly cooking class where James--who should be dieting--takes a night off from healthy foods.

James' friend Lindy begs him to chaperone a class trip to nearby caves, but they never dream that one of the twins would be discovered murdered in the cave. And when one of the parents on the trip proves to be an imposter, James, Lindy, and the rest of the group investigate.

Why bother? In a departure from most cozies, the main character is a man. The cast of characters can get confusing, with a large group of friends with gender-neutral names --Bennett, Parker, Kinsley, Murphy, etc. But if you like mysteries with lots of talk about food (and recipes, of course), try the Supper Club Mystery series.
