Murder by the Millions (A Literary Dining Mystery Book 2)

by Daryl Wood Gerber (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

In the beautiful mountain community of Asheville, North Carolina, caterer and personal chef Allie Catt serves up mouthwatering, literary-themed dinner parties inspired by her clients’ favorite books. Her next event is sure to be a roaring success—if a murderer isn’t a killjoy . . .

If it were true that the best thing a girl can be in this world is a fool, then Allie Catt would be out of luck. Fortunately, Allie’s business is a smashing success. And following her Pride and Prejudice event, grander plans await . . .

Feast for the Eyes bookstore manager and Allie’s best friend, Tegan, is hosting a book club soiree and wants it to be a glittering affair based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age-set novel, The Great Gatsby. Soon, Art Deco table settings and visions of flappers are dancing the Charleston in their heads. Even Tegan’s prickly sister, Vanna, is on board. And surely, Allie’s tuxedo cat, Darcy, thinks it’s the cat’s meow.
Amid the planning, charismatic developer Jason Gardner arrives in town to buy some historic buildings on Main Street. He, too, has plans: to create a modern mall. Allie is more than concerned. She even wants to protest. But when Jason invites her to cater a lavish party, she finds him surprisingly likable. Then she’s summoned to his estate for a meeting—and finds him dead.

Once again Allie’s landed in the middle of a crime scene.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for A Literary Dining Mystery Series

“Allie’s ensuing investigation hits all the requisite beats: there are well hidden clues, hints of romance with a local cop, and recipes for quiches and cakes. This gets the job done.” — Publishers Weekly on Murder by the Millions

“Gerber combines the hallmarks of a great cozy mystery—books, baking, and a cat named Darcy—in this charming series starter that ends with a few recipes.” —Booklist on Murder on the Page

“Foodies and Jane Austen fans alike will delight in this charming mystery.” —Kirkus Reviews on Murder on the Page

“While Allie tries to clear Tegan’s name and nurses a secret crush on Zach, Gerber methodically hits all the familiar cozy beats, including a timely intervention by Allie’s cat, Darcy.” —Publishers Weekly on Murder on the Page

"Lightly-themed around Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice, this culinary cozy series debut perfectly hearkens to the romance and manners of its inspiration even as it presents a very modern murder mystery." —Criminal Element on Murder on the Page
