Description
Managing a fitness club café and collaborating on recipes with her grandfather are Val Deniston's usual specialties, only she's about to set sail into another murder case—this time at a mystery lovers convention!
When the Deadly Desserts bake-off lives up to its name, Val and Granddad turn up the heat on a killer . . .
The Maryland Mystery Fan Fest sounds like exactly the fun getaway cafe manager Val Deniston and her grandfather could use. Granddad will even compete in a dessert competition in which contestants assume the roles of cooks to famous fictional sleuths. Playing Nero Wolfe's gourmet cook Fritz is an exciting challenge for Granddad. A restaurant manager is playing Lord Peter Wimsey's valet and cook Bunter. But Granddad is steamed to learn who will be playing Sherlock Holmes's landlady, Mrs. Hudson—his nemesis Cynthia Sweet, who he believes ripped off his five-ingredient theme from his column "Codger Cook" to use in her own recipe column.
Apparently, he isn't the only one who has a beef with his not-so-sweet competitor. When she's found dead in her room with the teakettle whistling, it's up to Val and her grandfather to sort through the festival goers to find out who was most definitely not a fan of Cynthia Sweet . . .
Includes delicious five-ingredient recipes!

A mystery fanfest makes the perfect place for murder. Cafe manager Val Deniston is helping her best friend, organizer Bethany O'Shay, as a volunteer at the Maryland Mystery Fan Fest. Also on hand is Val's grandfather Don Myer, known for his five-ingredient recipe column and his sleuthing abilities, which have often gotten both of them in trouble. A rare Nero Wolfe recipe collection Granddad finds in his attic includes the perfect recipe for him to use in the festival's baking contest. Everyone attending is a mystery fan, and many dress in costume. So of course, lots of them think it's part of the festival when a real murder occurs. First, bake-off contestant Cynthia Sweet gets a vaguely threatening note. Then, someone steals Granddad's recipe box. Finally, Val's awakened by a whistling teakettle. When she enlists a security guard to check on Cynthia, they find her dead in her bed. Cynthia wasn't exactly universally beloved, and the family of her late husband had a particularly good reason to want her dead before the date on which she would inherit a pile of money. The beautiful family poison ring Cynthia flaunted makes Val wonder if poison was what killed her. The sheriff's deputy assigned to the case, knowing that Val is a bit of a sleuth, mentions that Cynthia is the second person to die alone in the hotel--the first murder remains unsolved. Once murder is confirmed, there's no dearth of sleuths seeking to solve the complicated case. Granddad is a hoot, and a clever method of faking an alibi adds to the fun.COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
