Abstract

Murder in the Mix is a mystery novel detailing the adventures of ghostwriter Regina Morrison, who has been assigned to work with celebrity chef Marisol St. James on a memoir of stories leading to some of her most beloved dishes. In the middle of the project, Gina is horrified to learn that Marisol has been brutally murdered in the kitchen of her New York restaurant, The Mix. Gina’s agent presses her to complete the project in spite of the untimely death of the famous chef as it sure to be an instant bestseller, but Gina quickly comes to realize that her own life may be in danger. She reluctantly teams up with Drew Sherman, a private investigator who always seems to be handy when things go terribly wrong, and together they dig through the stories from Marisol’s past in order to find the secret that might drive a killer to silence anyone who might expose the truth. Along the way, Gina has to find her courage, keep her sense of humor, and start living a life worthy of her own memoir.
