Synopsis

 

The Fourth of July is coming, and for professional food lover Samantha Barnes, itā€™s all about the picnic. Okay, and the fireworks. And the parade. But mostly the picnic. What could be better than a DIY clambake followed by the best blueberry buckle in the world? Sam has finally found the perfect recipe in the kitchen of Clara Foster, famed cookbook author and retired restaurateur, and sheā€™s thrilled when Clara agrees to a buckle baking lesson.

But when Clara dies in a house fire blamed on carelessness in the kitchen, Sam doesnā€™t believe it. Unfortunately, her doubts set in motion an investigation pointing to the new owner of Claraā€™s legendary restaurantā€”and a cousin of Samā€™s harbormaster boyfriend. So, in between researching the Capeā€™s best lobster rolls and planning her clambake, Sam needs to find Clara’s killer before the fireworks really start….

About the Author

 

Amy Pershing, who spent every summer of her childhood on Cape Cod, was an editor, a restaurant reviewer and a journalist before leading employee communications at a global bank. A few years ago she waved goodbye to Wall Street to write full time. Murder Is No Picnic is the third of the Cape Cod Foodie mysteries featuring Samantha Barnes, a disgraced but resilient ex-chef who retreats home to Cape Cod where she finds herself juggling a new job as the local paperā€™s ā€œCape Cod Foodie,ā€ a complicated love life, a posse of just-slightly-odd friends, a falling-down house, a ginormous dog and a propensity for falling over dead bodies. Elizabeth Gilbert called the first book in the series, A Side of Murder, ā€œthe freshest, funniest mystery I have ever read,ā€ and Kirkus Reviews gave the second book, An Eggnog to Die For, a starred review, saying, ā€œA delightful sleuth, a complex mystery, and lovingly described cuisine: a winner for both foodies and mystery mavens.ā€
