Description
From the author of the charming Beacon Bakeshop Mysteries, the first in a new set at a haunted English manor and featuring chef Bunny MacBride, whose big break on her first reality TV show may be cut short by an unscripted murder... It isn't how chef Bridget "Bunny" MacBride imagined her own cooking show unfolding. But, if preparing historic meals with a modern flair is what it takes to get her cooking on the air, she can deliver, even if her dinner guest is a ghost. That's the premise of the new reality TV show Food & Spirits, where Chef Bunny teams up with ghost hunter Brett Bloom and psychic medium Giff McGrady to visit haunted locales around the world and tempt lingering spirits back to the table with a beloved meal. For their first episode, the Food & Spirits team sets off to investigate Bramsford Manor, a historic house turned famously haunted hotel, in picturesque Hampshire, England. The sprawling estate is said to be home to the Mistletoe Bride, a young woman who died in the 18th century, the victim of a tragic accident on her Christmas wedding night.Disliking spooks but loving food, Bunny leaves the spectral search to the pros and focuses on the feast, creating a traditional English holiday wedding dinner, complete with a gorgeous prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, and rustic apple tarts. It's a sumptuous meal she hopes will entice the ghostly Mistletoe Bride to take a seat and join them while the cameras roll. But Bunny's task is made more difficult when someone steals a boning knife from her custom kit. Alas, when the blade finally turns up again--in the chest of an all-too-human dinner guest--Bunny's woes only grow as she is named a lead suspect in the case! Now, with a haunted house full of living residents, staff, and crew, Bunny will need the help of Brett, Giff, and her clairvoyant Grandma Mac, to solve this murder before the manor gains another ghost!

Reviews
Praise for Darci Hannah "Spooke-meets-kooky adventure ensues." - Woman's World on Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant "You'll never see the end coming in this delightfully zany tale." --Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the Blueberry Festival "From the sweet moments to the sleuthing, this whodunit was a fun, festive ride!" --FIRST for Women on Murder At The Christmas Cookie Bake-Off "Red herrings, romance, and yummy recipes combine in this charming new series." --Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop "Wellington--or Wellie, for short--exceeded expectations as a delightful canine companion. Most importantly, the mystery was intriguingly layered. I also really enjoyed the food and baking descriptions and thought the inclusion of both the romance and the paranormal element tidily done." --Criminal Element on Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop "This is a great start to a new series with plenty of sweets, a charming setting, and a mystery to keep readers guessing." --Parkersburg News and Sentinel "Darci Hannah mixes spicy characters, a sweet bakeshop, and a possibly haunted lighthouse into a charming beachfront Michigan village and serves up a mystery as delectable as the bakeshop's treats and as twisty as the lighthouse stairs." --Ginger Bolton, author of Boston Scream Murder
