When widow Ricki James-Diaz returns to New Orleans and opens a gift shop full of vintage cookbooks, the discovery of a body in a box of donated books leads her to investigate the murder. - Penguin Putnam
A fantastic new cozy mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Awardâwinning author Ellen Byron.
Twenty-eight-year-old widow Ricki James leaves Los Angeles to start a new life in New Orleans after her showboating actor husband perishes doing a stupid internet stunt. The Big Easy is where she was born and adopted by the NICU nurse who cared for her after Rickiâs teen mother disappeared from the hospital.
Â
Rickiâs dream comes true when she joins the quirky staff of Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, the spectacular former Garden District home of late bon vivant Genevieve âVeeâ Charbonnet, the cityâs legendary restauranteur. Ricki is excited about turning her avocation â collecting vintage cookbooks â into a vocation by launching the museumâs gift shop, Miss Veeâs Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware. Then she discovers that a box of donated vintage cookbooks contains the body of a cantankerous Bon Vee employee who was fired after being exposed as a book thief.
Â
The skills Ricki has developed ferreting out hidden vintage treasures come in handy for investigations. But both her business and Bon Vee could wind up as deadstock when Rickiâs past as curator of a billionaireâs first edition collection comes back to haunt her.
Â
Will Miss Veeâs Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware be a success … or a recipe for disaster?
