Getting away from it all… Can be murder. Lydia Thackery loves running the Iron and Flame restaurant, but she’s very much looking forward to taking a camping break in the wilderness and enjoying a bit of peace and quiet. That is, until the peace and quiet is shattered by the sound of a gunshot ringing out. Her group’s first suspicion is that it must’ve come from a poacher, which, while awful, relieves their minds a bit. Until a body is discovered. Nothing is quite as motivating as realizing that you’re in the woods with a murderer, and Lydia is determined to dig up the truth. What she didn’t anticipate, however, is the arrival of a stranger in distress. A decision must be made – does the group help the stranger and flee to safety, or do they stay put and try to catch a killer? That decision may very well change the course of their lives. Will Lydia catch a killer…or die trying? Find out in this exciting Culinary Cozy Mystery!

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
