“Love Chopped and mysteries? This delightful character-driven cozy is just the treat for you.” -- Kirkus Reviews
 
Six chefs are preparing to compete in an outdoor tent at Storyton Hall in Virginia for prizes that will boost their careers -- but is there someone who can't stand the heat? It looks that way when one of the contestants is found dead in a pantry packed with two centuries' worth of cookbooks, among other treasures and rarities.
 
Could there be a connection to other recent events in town, like tampering with the costume of a local mascot? Jane isn't sure, but after someone serves a second course of murder, the kitchen must be closed and the killer must be found . . .
 
“Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.”
