Jewel Bay, Montana, is home to the annual Summer Food and Art Fair. Erin Murphy, a thirty-something who has returned home to help with the family business, is one of the organizers of the Grill-off competition. TV chef Gib Knox is in town to film the contest, and his self-important attitude has everyone on edge. It's a perfect setting for a murder, and author Leslie Budewitz has captured this food lover's village as if it were on a picture postcard.

But when the tv producer is the victim of a hit and run, and a local chef is discovered bludgeoned to death with a meat mallet, Erin can’t stay behind the cash register at her store. For fans of foodie mysteries like Diane Mott Davidson and Joanne Fluke.
