Revenge is served very cold in this deli-cious whodunit When Gwen Katz inherits her late uncles kosher deli, Murrays Pastrami Swami, little does she know that murder is always on the menu. Now Nashville Katz, as shes quickly nicknamed, has landed her first catering gig: Social butterfly Lolo Bakers audience-participation mystery party, where someone is "murdered" and the other guests must figure out who the killer is. Its all in good fun. . .until the "victim" comes crashing through the ceiling and lands--fatally--in Gwens once-tasty gravy, literally smoked to perfection. The amateur sleuth in Gwen knows the newly deceased, Hoppy Hopewell, was in quite a pickle. He squandered his familys vast fortune while having simultaneous affairs with Nashvilles wealthiest women. . .many of who were at the party. But as Gwen digs deeper, she finds the case is messier than chopped liver. . .and discovers that shes somehow sandwiched between her boyfriends possibly cheating heart and the deliciously handsome eyes of the detective working the case. . . When youre a deli owner, life aint always a bowl of chicken soup. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Delia Rosen is the author of A Brisket, A Casket and now lives in Maine. She spends her time between writing and searching for good bagels.
