Two Cooks A-killing: An Angie Amalfi Mystery

Sleuth/chef Angie Amalfi doesn't expect homicide for the holidays, but she soon gets stirred into a stew brewing among the former cast members of a now-defunct soap opera. Original.

Nothing could drag chef Angie Amalfi away from San Francisco and her beloved policeman fiance Paavo Smith -- except for a job preparing the banquet her all-time favorite soap opera characters will consume during an upcoming Christmas Reunion Special. So Angie eagerly takes off for the estate where the now-defunct "Eagle Crest" was originally filmed. Not thrilled to be staying in the very room from which the young actress Brittany Keegan took a real-life fatal tumble years earlier, Angie is equally disturbed -- and intrigued -- when another corpse turns up in the cellar. Both deaths have been ruled accidental, but the bitter accusations flying back and forth among the reunited cast suggest otherwise. And now that Angie's a guest star in this deadly serial drama, she's suddenly in serious danger of being written out of it permanently.
