After an unexpected twist of fate gives her a local historic mansion, Dani decides to leave her career in HR to open her dream Chef-to-Go business.  With her college boarders to help, Dani's business appears to be picking up steam.  However when a client is found murdered after one of her catered events, Dani is afraid that she will be blamed.  Can she find the true murderer before her reputation is destroyed?

I really enjoyed the book.  I was surprised by the swearing and more adult themes, but the story was enjoyable.  The mystery kept me guessing.  The characters were very likeable.  I enjoyed the added romantic element.  I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of the series.
