Murder on the Menu
(2025)(The second book in the Gurley Summers Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Rhea S Brown
A chef in crisis.
A sheepdog with attitude.
A murder that could end her career—permanently.
Sous Chef Gurley Summers is this close to her culinary breakthrough… until a food critic turns up dead during filming, her own kitchen knife buried in his chest and the cameras catch her standing over the body.
Overnight, Gurley becomes the prime suspect, and her dream turns into a recipe for disaster. Someone wants her ruined and they’re willing to kill to make it happen.
Her only allies?
Her chaotic roommate Pete, and her fiercely loyal Australian Shepherd Blaze, who’s never met a suspect he didn’t love accusing.
But the tension is heating up.
A hot-tempered rival chef, a backstabbing coworker with motive to spare, and a third suspect hiding a dangerous secret all serve up drama faster than Gurley can plate a dish.
And when another body turns up—fresh out of the oven—Gurley realizes she’s running out of time.
To clear her name, she must uncover the killer before she becomes thefinal ingredient in a deadly recipe.
