Pike, Penny

Penny Pike (aka Penny Warner) writes the Food Festival Mystery series which starts in August 2014 and is set in California. It features restaurant reviewer Darcy Burnett who gets served a pink slip from the San Francisco Chronicle. Now she needs to come up with an alternative recipe for success quickly. Her feisty aunt Abby owns a tricked-out school bus, which she’s converted into a hip and happening food truck, and Darcy comes aboard as a part-timer while she develops a cookbook project based on recipes from food fests in the Bay Area.
