Sometimes even our best preparations… Get derailed by murder. Professional Chef, and future amateur sleuth, Hannah Cooper, has had enough of her fast-paced, high-stress life and decides to quit her job at a five-star restaurant, to pursue her lifelong dream. Hannah’s best friend, Caroline Price, gets on board as her business partner for opening the restaurant she’s always dreamed of, and for the first time in her life, everything seems to be going perfectly. The move from a large city, to the small town of Shale, West Virginia, takes some getting used to, but Hannah is nearly too busy to notice. On the day of her restaurant’s grand opening, when everything that she’s worked so hard to achieve, is about to come to fruition, Hannah receives a death threat. When a body turns up, Hannah cannot escape the fact that the person behind the threat is serious, but she steadfastly refuses to give up on her dream. If she can find the killer in time, she might be able to save her restaurant…and quite possible stay alive.
