A side of murder / by Pershing, Amy.;
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.

"What a long, strange trip it's been for Chloe. After her dream of becoming a Parisian pastry chef--and a wife--crashed and burned, she returned home to the seaside town of Azalea Bay, California and opened a cannabis café. Despite some residents' misgivings about how such a business may affect the community's reputation, Baked by Chloe has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Nothing mellows out people like sweet edibles and frothy drinks with a dash of CBD. But when it comes to surfers, the only high they want to ride is on a wave. The annual summer Azalea Bay Pro Challenger Surf Competition is underway, and fan favorite Aaron Gill is treading water. Plagued by professional and personal pressures, he finds himself no longer a top contender, and everyone is saddened when he takes his own life. But his best friend Ethan Wilson knows that despite Aaron's difficulties, suicide was not on his mind, and he begs Chloe to investigate. Against her better judgment, Chloe dives in and discovers Aaron was surrounded by people motivated enough to help him wipe out--permanently."--Back cover.
