Pot Luck

"Elli Lisbon is the Stephanie Plum of the South!" - Krista Davis, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Domestic Diva Mysteries "The irrepressible heroine is delightful and her ongoing banter is nonstop fun." - Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine "Elliott is smart and sassy, takes no guff and pulls no punches." - Cozy Mystery Book Reviews GOING FOR THE GOLD… It's time for the Irish Spring at the Ballantyne Foundation, and charity director/PI-in-training Elliott Lisbon kicks off the annual Pot of Gold Cook-Off in shamrock style. Twenty chefs compete for the corned beef and cabbage crown but only one can win the title. The odds improve when one chef goes missing…until Elli finds the Ballantyne's own Chef Carmichael standing over the body with a knife. With pug puppies, Colonel Mustard and Mrs. White, by her side, Elli searches both sides of coastal living for a clue to the killer. From million dollar condos to a run-down trailer park, the evidence pits her against sexy Nick Ransom, and the case gets hotter than a handful of peppercorns. But despite a confession and cooperative suspect, she knows something about the case smells funny-and it has nothing to do with the cook-off. The luck of the Irish is nowhere in sight, but if Elli can't crack this one open, Chef's goose will get cooked for good.
