Boardwalk of Betrayal
(2025)(A book in the Shoreline Suspicions Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Food, fun, and a fatal case of just desserts!
Food blogger Melody Thompson and her Instagram-famous dachshund, Churro, are headed to Atlantic City for the Beachside Food Festival. But when arrogant celebrity chef Anthony Brooks drops dead after sampling a competitor's dish at the opening reception, it's clear that someone has added murder to the menu!
With the festival determined to continue despite the tragedy, Melody finds herself stirring through a stew of suspects: a pastry chef whose family recipe was stolen by the victim, a former sous chef with a grudge, an ambitious young molecular gastronomy expert, and the victim's elegant wife who stands to inherit millions.
As Melody and Churro sniff out clues among the food stalls, they discover the culinary world has a dark side—where stolen recipes and professional sabotage can lead to deadly consequences. When threatening messages suggest she's getting too close to the truth, Melody realizes the killer may be preparing a special recipe... with her as the main ingredient!
