Sometimes finding your peace… Can be murder. Chef, restauranteur, and amateur sleuth, Lydia Thackery, has realized that to have a proper life balance, sometimes she needs to just stop and smell the roses. To that end, she’s experimenting with new recipes, making the time to see her sister and her friends more often, and has been trying to back away from making work the sole focus of her life. Her plan is going well, until she receives a call from a stranger in the middle of the night. The woman sounds terrified and asks for help, but the call is cut off before Lydia can determine her identity. When a woman is found dead the very next morning, Lydia has a sinking feeling that the victim is the same woman who called her. Plagued by guilt that she wasn’t able to help, she starts investigating the mysterious death. Can she find her peace and catch a killer? 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.
