Description
Former reality TV baking show contestant and recent divorcée Hope Early is trying to find her recipe for success as a food blogger—but murder keeps getting in the mix . . .
 
When Hope's elderly neighbor perishes in a home fire, she can't help but feel somewhat responsible. Only the day before, Peggy Olson had called her over, having burned a pot on the stove while she was sleeping and filling the house with smoke. In fact, she couldn't even remember cooking. Clearly, it was dangerous for the woman to live alone.
 
But it turns out she wasn't alone. When a second body is discovered in the basement of the burned house, suddenly what appeared to be a tragic accident is beginning to look like premeditated murder. As rumors spread like wildfire, Hope is determined to sort out the facts and smoke out a killer, but she might be jumping from the frying pan straight into the fire . . .
 
Includes Recipes from Hope's Kitchen!

        February 1, 2019
        A food blogger investigates her neighbor's death.One brush with death apparently isn't enough for Hope Early, who moved back to her hometown hoping to recover from a brutal stint on The Sweet Taste of Success, a reality cooking show that led to the spectacular and very public breakup of her marriage. But life in rural Connecticut hasn't proved all that restorative. Shortly after her arrival in Jefferson, her sister, Claire Dixon, needed Hope's help clearing her of the murder of a rival realtor (The Uninvited Corpse, 2018), a favor that left Hope facing down a killer. Now, Hope's neighbor Peggy Olson is burned to death in a fire, a blaze that would have been mistaken for a stovetop accident triggered by the elderly woman's failing memory if not for the discovery of a second body in the house. And although Hope has reluctantly agreed to contribute to a forthcoming cookbook based on Sweet Taste, she can't concentrate on her cookies when there's a killer lurking nearby and the police seem stumped. Her mode of investigation is a little more direct than that of most other small-town amateurs. Instead of quietly nosing around and asking nondirective questions, she confronts many of Jefferson's leading citizens, asking them straight up if there's any reason they might want Planning and Zoning Commission member Lily Barnhart, Peggy's co-corpse, dead. So it's hardly a surprise when she comes home one day to find a threatening note nailed to her beautifully refinished door. But the hole that defaces her hardwood may be the least of Hope's problems as she continues to defy the pleas of the local police to leave the investigation to the professionals.Sennefelder takes a well-worn formula and pushes it to the edge. Readers may well be tempted to side with the police in their assessment of the heroine's detective prowess.

        April 1, 2019

        The disappearance of Lily Barnhart, a member of the Planning & Zoning committee, has everyone in town buzzing, but food blogger Hope Early has other worries. Her elderly neighbor Peggy begs for help--she doesn't want her daughter to know that she fell asleep with a pan on the stove that set off the smoke alarm. When Hope later finds Peggy's house on fire, she regrets she never mentioned Peggy's memory issues. But, there are two bodies found in the house. Although the police chief and the investigating detective both warn Hope not to get involved, she's naturally nosy and encouraged by a retired mystery author, who asks a few too many questions for the comfort of some powerful people. A warning nailed to her front door angers her, but she still persists. While the recipes are enticing, and the food blogger and photography information interesting, Hope's attitude alienates her from even her best friends in this weak mystery. VERDICT While The Uninvited Corpse showed a great deal of promise, the characters are much weaker in this second series entry. Not a necessary purchase.--Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN
