Ella McBane’s biggest mistake? Thinking life would be easy once her daughters have all grown up and moved out… until her eldest daughter is accused of murder. Every woman wants their adult children to be happy, healthy, and loved. Maybe that’s why Ella takes on her daughter Savannah’s request to cater her engagement party. With no formal culinary training but a ton of cooking experience, Ella struggles to not upset her future in-laws who aren’t exactly accustomed to old-fashioned home cooking. Everything seems to be going well… until Ella trips over a dead body at the celebration. Fingers swiftly point at Savannah, and the evidence is overwhelming. But Ella knows Savannah wouldn’t hurt a fly, and jumps into action to clear her daughter’s name. Little does she know that her actions will drag her into the dangerous world of organized crime. With her ex-husband eyeing her like a prize, a sexy former flame looking to rekindle their past, and trouble lurking around every corner, Ella might regret slowing down to face everything chasing her… especially with time running out. Engagingly Dead expertly combines romance, intrigue, humor, culinary temptations (and plenty of fun 80s and 90s references!) to make a dizzyingly thrilling ride in Michele Scott’s latest read.
