Sometimes we think we know someone… And we don’t really know them at all. During a brunch with her friends, Chef and amateur sleuth, Lydia Thackery, witnesses a woman, who has been an enemy of her friend group for years, die of an allergic reaction. What seems at first like a horrible mistake on behalf of the restaurant they’re visiting, soon evolves into a likely homicide…with scrutiny falling upon Lydia’s group of friends as possible suspects. As Lydia does a bit of sleuthing, she begins to discover that the people she thought she knew so well have secrets of their own. It seems that sometimes those she’s known for years have suddenly become strangers. The deeper she digs, the more it seems that she may have been keeping company with a murderer. Will she have the heart to send one of her friends to jail, if the facts support it? Find out in this delectable 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.
