The New England Fall Food Fest has begun, and for competitive cook Sherry Oliveri, it's a chance to take home a prize—and take down a killer . . .

Sherry's hoping her Savory Shrimp Lettuce Cups will impress the judges, and she's invited her brother, Pep, to serve as her sous-chef. The good news is that she takes first place in her category, the bad news is that it's easier to win when your toughest competition is dead . . .

After contestant Fitz Frye is found with a fishhook in his neck, Pep's strange behavior doesn't help his case when the police consider him top suspect. While Pep sits through a shakedown, Sherry searches near and far for the real culprit—before another deadly course is served . . .
