Death Fricassee

Want a recipe for disaster? Take one thirty-something food columnist, living the high life as the youngest resident of a Florida retirement community in the house she inherited from her grandmother. Sprinkle with early-bird specials and nights of bingo. Add one college professor-turned-novelist, seasoned heavily with deep, dark secrets sprung from a night of drunken fun that left him changed in ways he doesn't understand. Toss in a dash of murder that rocks a quiet community. And heat until neither one can deny their growing attraction to each other. Best served hot with a side of wicked humor and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Bon Appetit!
