Simmer Down

Foodie and sometimes sleuth Chloe Carter takes on Beantown to solve a murder by food processor.

After months between gigs, Chloe Carter's dishy boyfriend, Josh Driscoll, has just landed his dream job: executive chef at Simmer, Boston's soon-to-be hottest new restaurant. As Josh preps for a New Year's Eve grand opening, Chloe, on winter break from grad school, hooks him up with Food for Thought, an annual charity fundraiser. It seems like a win-win - Simmer will give the dining public a tantalizing taste of things to come, and Josh will showcase his culinary talents - until murder makes a late addition to the menu. It's not the kind of publicity Chloe was looking for. Now wealthy club owner Oliver Kipper is dead, bludgeoned to death.

The murder weapon is a state-of-the-art professional-grade food processor that, unfortunately, belongs to Josh. By opening night, the list of suspects, including Josh's ex-girlfriends, is almost as long as the line to get into Simmer. Suddenly, Chloe's risking her life to unmask a killer in a town where murder is becoming an acquired taste.
