Come for [a:Josh Lanyon|359194|Josh Lanyon|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1289326144p2/359194.jpg], stay for [a:Dal Maclean|15408926|Dal Maclean|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1470182224p2/15408926.jpg].

These two authors are the reason why I jumped on the arc so fast when it was shared online.

But I read "all" the stories like the good lil girl I am.

STORY 1: Entree to Murder by [a:Nicole Kimberling|1035116|Nicole Kimberling|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1207612752p2/1035116.jpg]

Chef Drew Allison moves to the town of Orca's Slough with his bff Sam to start a new restaurant called Eelgrass. Their relationship is on the rocks and we are reminded of that frequently. Although, poetically. When the body of the drug dealing kitchen staff is found in the basement of the Eelgrass, Drew is forced to investigate the murder (somewhat unwillingly) because the police force of Mackenzie, Mackenzie and Mackenzie somehow thinks he's involved in whatever the hell is going on in Orca's Slough.

The mystery is well written. Gripping and isn't sidetracked by the drama surrounding Drew's life.
