Synopsis: In the beautiful mountain community of Asheville, North Carolina, caterer and personal chef Allie Catt serves up mouthwatering, literary-themed dinner parties inspired by her clients&’ favorite books. Her next event is sure to be a roaring success—if a murderer isn&’t a killjoy . . . If it were true that the best thing a girl can be in this world is a fool, then Allie Catt would be out of luck. Fortunately, Allie&’s business is a smashing success. And following her Pride and Prejudice event, grander plans await . . . Feast for the Eyes bookstore manager and Allie&’s best friend, Tegan, is hosting a book club soiree and wants it to be a glittering affair based on F. Scott Fitzgerald&’s iconic Jazz Age-set novel, The Great Gatsby. Soon, Art Deco table settings and visions of flappers are dancing the Charleston in their heads. Even Tegan&’s prickly sister, Vanna, is on board. And surely, Allie&’s tuxedo cat, Darcy, thinks it&’s the cat&’s meow. Amid the planning, charismatic developer Jason Gardner arrives in town to buy some historic buildings on Main Street. He, too, has plans: to create a modern mall. Allie is more than concerned. She even wants to protest. But when Jason invites her to cater a lavish party, she finds him surprisingly likable. Then she&’s summoned to his estate for a meeting—and finds him dead. Once again Allie&’s landed in the middle of a crime scene.
