First in a new series!
At the San Francisco Seafood Festival, someone is steamed enough to kill a cook....
When restaurant reviewer Darcy Burnett gets served a pink slip from the San Francisco Chronicle, she needs to come up with an alternative recipe for success quickly. Her feisty aunt Abby owns a tricked-out school bus, which she’s converted into a hip and happening food truck, and Darcy comes aboard as a part-timer while she develops a cookbook project based on recipes from food fests in the Bay Area.
But she soon finds someone’s been trafficking in character assassination—literally—when a local chef turns up dead and her aunt is framed for the murder. The restaurant chef was an outspoken enemy of food trucks, and now Darcy wonders if one of the other vendors did him in. With her aunt’s business—and freedom—on the line, it’s up to Darcy to steer the murder investigation in the right direction and put the brakes on an out-of-control killer….

      Consoling herself with a cream puff after being let go as a restaurant reviewer from the San Francisco Chronicle, Darcy Burnett decides to join her Aunt Abby on the Big Yellow School Bus, one of the local food trucks, and start writing a cookbook based on the San Francisco Bay Area food festivals. Not everyone is happy about the food trucks, including one outspoken local chef who clashes with Abby and ends up dead the next day. Hoping to save her aunt--and her book dreams--Darcy investigates and realizes that the chef's hatred of food trucks put him on the hit list of a large number of people. As the case heats up, Darcy realizes that she may have just found a new recipe--for murder. VERDICT Pike's series debut starts off with a bang: a feisty family sets the tone and all the usual suspects are in place. Food truck recipes are included.
