Cooking is Murder
Myrtle Clover Cozy Mysteries | Book 11
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with an unstoppable octogenarian protagonist who refuses to slow down — sharp, funny, and not about to let her police chief son tell her what to do. Light and funny even when there's murder involved.
Myrtle has decided that she’s actually a very good cook. In fact, she feels she’s such a good cook that she elects to hone her skills at a cooking school. She persuades her reluctant friend Miles to join her, convinced they both could use some inspiration in the kitchen.
This cooking school enrolls one rather loud-mouth student who quickly makes everyone fed-up. This unfortunate student, fond of telling tales out of school, learns that one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Myrtle and Miles must use class act detecting skills to learn who’s been schooled in murder before someone else’s goose gets cooked.
