Product Description
Product Description
Chef Angie Amalfi can't wait to take off from the city for a week to help devise a delicious vegetarian menu for a lovely new B&B in scenic northern California. The not-yet-open-for-business Hill Haven Inn will be the perfect place to take her budding romance with her homicide detective boyfriend Paavo to the next level! But the situation awaiting them turns out to be less than ideal—with battling investors, rumors of ghosts, cold drafts, a leaky roof . . . and an owner whose idea of haute cuisine might be acceptable for farm animals. And when a furious rainstorm traps everyone inside, it becomes painfully apparent that there's a murderer among them . . . and that the only recipe being concocted in the Hill Haven kitchen is one for disaster. But Angie's determined to solve the case and salvage her romantic getaway . . . or die trying!
Ingram
When chef Angie Amalfi arrives at the Hill Haven Inn in northern California, she finds the romantic getaway is plagued by antagonistic investors, a tasteless owner, a missing person, and a woman after her boyfriend.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Love this series!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking Up Trouble (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the third book in the Angie Amalfi series and I have loved each of them. This is a wonderful cozy series where the combination of mystery and romance is well balanced. The mystery keeps me guessing to the end and the romance is just steamy enough to keep me coming back, but not so much that it overpowers the mystery. A good read which I highly recommend.

Humorous -- ghosts and homicidal vegetarians,

Fun read. Good send-up of New Age charlatans. Humor and chills. Enjoyed "ghost" story.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking Up Trouble (Mass Market Paperback)
If attention to details is what separates excellent mystery authors from good ones, Pence may be doomed to the latter category. I found at least two story line contradictions in this book that were quite distracting as I tried to figure out who done it. It is a fun read with some sensual scenes between our heroine (Angie Amalfi) and her boyfriend thrown in to move the across book love story line along. It wasn't what I was looking for, but others may enjoy it.
