The Pepper Peach Murder — Meg Benjamin

Roxy Constantine is the jam queen of Shavano, Colorado. But her social life is a bust, and she's still recovering from a bad experience as a line cook in Denver. Things improve when she meets tasty local chef Nate Robicheaux, but she's also fending off the attentions of another local, Brett Holmes, who won't take no for an answer. When Brett threatens to derail Roxy's career, the two have a very public fight. A few days later, Brett is found murdered in his restaurant kitchen, and suddenly Roxy's a prime suspect. Now Roxy must find the truth about Brett and his murderer before the town of Shavano decides her reign as jam queen is over for good.
