Killer Mousse — Melinda Wells

Meet Della Carmichael, owner of a cooking school in Santa Monica, California, and star of a brand-new cable cooking show. But now she's about to add an additional credit to her resume: suspect.

The first live airing of In the Kitchen with Della opens like other cooking shows--with a chef surrounded by bowls of ingredients in a shiny studio kitchen. But it ends like a crime-scene detective show--and Della is the suspected perp.

Della's Killer Mousse lives up to its name when her predecessor, Mimi Bond, taste tests it--and winds up dead on the floor. Proving that she didn't poison the mousse will be no piece of cake for Della. She'll have to expose unsavory secrets, get mixed up in heated family affairs, and figure out why Mimi, who couldn't make instant oatmeal, was hired in the first place...
