Lucy McGuffin has three problems: She's a human lie detector, a "gift" she tries hard to keep hidden. Her rescue dog Paco is a ghost-whisperer. And someone's just been found murdered in her kitchen. The murder weapon? One of Lucy's famous apple walnut cream cheese muffins. The victim? Tara Bell, the producer for a reality TV cooking competition that Lucy is determined to win. Lucy and Tara had a very public disagreement the day before the murder. When it's discovered that Lucy's cafe was about to be disqualified from the show, all fingers point to Lucy as the prime suspect. Travis Fontaine might be Whispering Bay's newest heartthrob, but the know-it-all cop and Lucy have butted heads in the past. He doesn't believe she's guilty and he'll prove it. Himself. Without any of Lucy's special help, thanks. But Lucy isn't about to sit back and let her goose get cooked. With her best friend Will and her dog Paco by her side, she sets out to solve the crime. Before someone gets away with murder.Zum Buch
