Death and Fondue

Murder, millionaires, and melted cheese—Abby Hirsch's latest catering gig is heating up in all the wrong ways. Business is booming for Sugar Creek's go-to caterer, and Abby is thrilled to land a high-profile corporate retreat at her aunt's charming B&B. But when the company's powerful CEO turns up dead, the retreat takes an ugly turn—and Abby finds herself caught in the middle of a simmering scandal. As secrets bubble to the surface and tensions boil over, it's clear that nearly every guest had a reason to want him gone. With the investigation circling closer to home and her hard-earned reputation at stake, Abby has no choice but to start sleuthing. At least she has Cassie's unshakable loyalty, a dog with a habit of nosing into trouble, and a sheriff boyfriend who's running out of ways to tell her to stay out of his case. Ryan knows Abby won't back down, but that doesn't mean he has to like it—especially when the trail of clues leads her straight into danger. But with a murderer still at large, Abby doesn't have time to argue. She'll have to stir the pot and uncover the truth before someone else gets burned.
