While she is busy getting ready for her annual cooking contest/author event at Village Cooks, her cookbook and cookware store, Bonnie Emerson, daughter of a former U.S. president, finds the body of a woman near a stream on her property. When Bonnie's tires are slashed, her father hires a private security company. When she is shot at, he calls in the Secret Service and the author's agent threatens to cancel her appearance. But it could be worse. If Cookbooktoberfest goes on with a killer on the loose, they might all be in danger. Cookbooktoberfest and the lives of Bonnie and her family are all in jeopardy unless Bonnie can - with or without the Secret Service - find the killer. Filled with cooking and cookbook lore, Cinnamon Girl is the first in a series of VILLAGE COOKS mysteries. Includes recipes from treasured cookbooks.
