When a food convention turns fatal, Tiffany Austin will have to cook up a scheme to catch a killer . . .

The national Foodie Fest is in town and food blogger Tiffany Austin is thrilled to report on the event, even if it means crossing paths with an arrogant and annoying chef from her past. The man can’t help boasting of his success, but he also lets slip to Tiffany that he’s publishing a tell-all memoir that will be filled with scandalous secrets about many people in the food industry. It’s a risky career move, and maybe just plain risky, as Tiffany discovers later that day when she finds the chef’s dead body mere steps from the convention center.

With any number of reputations and careers at stake if the chef’s memoir were ever published, Tiffany realizes virtually everyone at the event is a suspect. Wending her way through the convention crowd in her guise as a reporter, she cautiously questions as many of the participants as she can, hoping to unearth a telling clue or a false alibi. Because while everyone has a skeleton or two in the closet, Tiffany knows someone at the food fest has a secret they’d kill to protect—and would kill for again if she gets too close to the truth . . .

Includes scrumptious Foodie Fest recipes!


CHARACTER INTERVIEW

  1. What words or phrases do they overuse?

Tiffany has been heard to say “Golly” or “Oh well” more than she should.  To be honest we have an editor who makes sure we do NOT overuse words or phrases!

  1. Do they have a catchphrase?

Phil Bartell’s is usually, “Not you again” when he finds Tiffany at the scene of the crime!

  1. Are they more optimistic or pessimistic?

Tiffany is definitely optimistic – her boyfriend, Phil Bartell on the other hand, is usually pessimistic about Tiffany getting involved in his murder cases

  1. Are they introverted or extroverted?

Tiffany is definitely an extrovert, and so is her BFF Hilary. Bartell would be more of an introvert, but then again he is a homicide detective!

  1. Do they ever put on airs?

Tiffany is one of the  most down to earth people you could ever hope to meet so no. 

  1. What bad habits do they have?

Bartell woud say Tiffany’s bad habit is getting involved in his cases!

  1. What makes them laugh out loud?

Tiffany likes to laugh at the antics of her cat Lily and her dog Cooper

  1. How do they display affection?

Tiffany and Bartell haven’t quite reached that stage yet, but they’re very close!

  1. If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be?

Tiffany would like to make herself a little less inquisitive to make Bartell happy, but it’s not going to happen. 

  1. What is their obsession?

Tiffany’s is solving mysteries. Bartell’s is trying to get her to NOT solve mysteries.

  1. What are their pet peeves?

Tiffany’s is Bartell’s constant remiders to her not to get involved.  I guess you could say Tiffany is Bartell’s pet peeve.
