Publisher Description

The Agatha Award–winning author of Wining and Dying returns to the Cookbook Nook, where a killer's explosive vengeance may lead to Jenna Hart's happily never after . . .

With Bride's Dream Expo in town, it's all things wedding in Crystal Cove, including at the Cookbook Nook, where owner Jenna Hart is preparing for her own wedding in just a few short weeks. But there's a dark cloud hanging over the festive mood by the name of Sarita Strachline, a woman Jenna helped convict of arson who is now out of jail and bent on revenge. And when Jenna and Rhett's intimate prenuptial dinner is rocked by an explosion that nearly takes Rhett's life, Jenna can't help but think Sarita is to blame.

Desperate to prove Sarita's guilt but consumed by worries over Rhett's condition, Jenna reluctantly lays her case out for the police and leaves the investigation in their methodical hands. Still, she can't help piecing together the clues, and as the evidence begins to mount, Jenna realizes that revenge may be a dish best served cold, but she can cook up a scheme of her own to bring the culprit to justice—she just has to hope it doesn't blow up in her face . . .

Includes mouthwatering recipes!
