Death by Irish whiskey / by Murphy, C. E.(Catie E.),author.;
The competition for best whiskey in Ireland will be a publicity bonanza for the winner, and that means there are celebrities involved--like boxer Angus McConal and Megan's friend Niamh, an up-and-coming actress who's teamed up with Megan's uncle, the retired Sligo harbormaster. But rivalries and revelries turn out to be a bad blend when McConal dies at a whiskey tasting. Megan promised her girlfriend she'd quit her amateur sleuthing, but with Niamh and her uncle as suspects, she's over a barrel ... With her relationship on the rocks, Megan gets in even deeper when a second entrant in the competition is killed--and her investigation starts zeroing in on a suspect. Now she just needs proof.

Didn't you use to be Queenie B? : a novel / by DeFino, Terri-Lynne,author.;
"Gorgeous and curvaceous, with cascading black hair and signature red lips, Regina Benuzzi is Queenie B: a culinary goddess with Michelin Star restaurants, a bestselling cookbook empire, and multimillion dollar TV deals. She had it all. Until she didn't. After an epic fall from grace, Queenie B vanishes from the public eye, giving up everything: her husband, her son, and the fame that she'd fought to achieve. Her shows are in rerun, her restaurants still popular but her disappearance remains a mystery to her legions of fans. Local line cook Gale Carmichael also knows a thing or two about disaster. Newly sober and struggling, Gale's future dreams don't hold space for culinary stardom; only earning enough to get by. Broke at the end of the week, he finds himself at a local soup kitchen in one of the roughest parts of New Haven, Connecticut. But Gale quickly realizes that the food coming out of the kitchen is not your standard free meal - it is delicious, and prepared with gourmet flair. Gale doesn't recognize Regina, the soup kitchen's cranky proprietor, whose famous black mane is now streaked with gray. It's been more than ten years since Queenie B vanished into her careful new existence. But she sees Gale's talent, and recognizes a brokenness in him that she knows all too well. The culinary genius in hiding takes him under her wing. Teaching Gale, Regina's passion to create is re-ignited, and they both glimpse a shot at the redemption that had always seemed out of reach. When Gale is chosen to compete on the hit cooking show, Cut!, it's a turning point for them both. It's Gale's time to shine. And that means Queenie B might just have to come out of hiding"--
