Book
A side of murder / Amy Pershing.
Samantha Barnes finds herself back in her hometown on Cape Cod, working as a food writer and licking her wounds after her once-successful life as a chef in the Big Apple comes to a shrieking halt. Samantha has inherited her great-Aunt Ida's dilapidated house, which comes complete with an enormous puppy. Although it's not exactly a windfall, it might be just the retreat Samantha needs. Until it's not. Sam's new boss--and old friend--Keisha is very, well, bossy, and wants Sam to do online video food reviews in addition to traditional print reviews. Her friends Jenny and Miles insist on believing Sam is home for good (she definitely is not), and the town's new harbor master is none other than her old flame, Jason Lopes. And then there's the matter of the body Sam finds in Arey's pond. The body of the woman who tore Sam and Jason apart ten years ago, Estelle. Everyone says it must be accidental--but Sam is sure there's something fishy going on. With no one else inclined to investigate, Sam knows it will be up to her to deliver justice.

Returning home to Cape Cod after her successful life as a chef in New York City crashes and burns, food writer Samantha Barnes must deal with a new boss, her old flame, and a dead body that no one seems to want to do anything about. - Penguin Putnam
 Beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is known for seafood, sand, surf, and, now…murder.
Â
Samantha Barnes was always a foodie. And when the CIA (thatâs the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chefâs clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot.
Â
The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy. And the townâs harbor master is none other than her first love. Nonetheless, Samâs looking forward to reviewing the Bayview Grillâand indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Sam is certain this is murder. But as she begins to stir the pot, is she creating a recipe for her own untimely demise?
