Sinopse

A jilted wife, a jealous mistress, a dead banker, and three sleuthing sisters investigate, in this “sparkling slice of crime fiction” (Marion Todd, author of the Detective Clare Mackay novels). Martha Parker runs a small private detective agency in Glasgow with her two sisters, Helen and Geri, specialising in catching cheating partners playing away from home. The Parkers have been hired by the reclusive wife of a wealthy banker she suspects is having an affair—but when he shows up murdered, it’s up to Martha, Helen, and Geri to prove the wife’s innocence in a case unlike any they have tackled before . . . “A brilliant, sharply funny read, so refreshing to read a crime novel that also makes you laugh.” —Lisa Hall, author of The Party “Murder, mayhem and a trio of meddling private investigators make for a hugely entertaining mystery. Banking on Murder kept me guessing while bringing a smile to my face. I can’t wait to see what the Parker sisters get up to next!” —Lisa Gray, Washington Post–bestselling author of the Jessica Shaw, PI thrillers

    Lily Roberts pores over the clues in a piping hot new case when a confrontational celebrity chef is murdered at her Cape Cod tearoom during the filming of a popular baking show . . . 
     
     
      
    The country's hottest TV cooking show is coming to Cape Cod. Lily Roberts is entering America Bakes! with her charming tearoom, Tea by the Sea! Filming is already proving disruptive, closing the tearoom during Lily's busiest season. But tensions really bubble over when infamous bad-boy chef and celebrity judge, Tommy Greene, loses his temper with Lily's staff, resulting in an on-camera blowout with Cheryl Wainwright. Just as Lily thinks the competition can't get more bitter, Tommy is found dead in Tea by the Sea's kitchen . . . murdered with Cheryl's rolling pin. 
     
     
      
    Suspicion immediately falls on Cheryl, but the temperamental star has racked up plenty of culinary clashes in the past, both on- and off-screen. And nearly anyone associated with Tommy or the show could be the killer: be it one of Lily's fierce competitors, a member of the beleaguered film crew, or even one of Tommy's fellow judges—struggling cookbook maven, Claudia D'Angelo or beauty contest winner, Scarlet McIntosh. Now, while she's baking up a storm for the show, Lily must also whip up an impromptu investigation . . . before the murderer rolls someone else away.
