Hayley Powell food and cocktails mystery, a Single mum Hayley Powell is barely keeping her leaking roof over her head when her boss at the "Island Times" gives her a new assignment - taking over the paper's food column. Hayley's not sure she has the chops--she's an office manager, not a writer, even if her friends clamour for her mouth-watering potluck dishes. But the extra income is tempting, and Hayley's chatty first column is suddenly on everyone's menu - with one exception. When rival food writer Karen Appelbaum is found face-down dead in a bowl of Hayley's creamy clam chowder, all signs point to Hayley. To clear her name, she'll have to enlist some help, including her BFFs, a perpetually pregnant lobster woman, and a glamorous real estate agent. As she whips up a list of suspects, Hayley discovers a juicy secret about the victim - and finds herself in a dangerous mix with a cold-blooded killer. 20130408. Food writers Fiction.
