A Deadly Reception
(2025)(The second book in the Kat Calloway Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by L B Dayton
At this wedding reception, the cake’s not the only thing getting sliced.
Dallas chef Kat Calloway thought catering a high-society wedding reception would be good for business until the city’s most conniving socialite is found dead at the reception, stabbed with Kat’s own chef’s knife.
Now Kat’s career is on the chopping block, her sharp-tongued grandmother is a prime suspect, and the cops think Kat might be serving up more than hors d’oeuvres. With her tuxedo cat Tux sniffing out secrets and her staff simmering with frustration, Kat dives into a mystery stuffed with feuding relatives, flaky alibis, and one all too-charming nephew who’s hiding something behind that polished smile.
The guest list is full of secrets, the kitchen’s boiling over, and time is running out. If Kat can’t crack the case, she’ll lose her reputation, her restaurant and possibly her life.
Murder’s not on the menu… but someone’s about to get served.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The story was a page turner leaving you thinking what will happen next."
���️⭐️��️⭐️⭐️ "Great characters, an interesting mystery, a possible romance, and lots of snark and humor."
Genre: Cozy Mystery
