Managing a fitness club café and collaborating on a cookbook with her grandfather are Val Deniston’s usual specialties, but she’s about to set sail into nearby Chesapeake Bay—straight into a murder case . . .
Since catering themed events is a good way to make extra cash, Val agrees to board the Titanic—or at least cater a re-creation of the doomed journey on a yacht. The owner of the yacht, who collects memorabilia related to the disaster, wants Val to serve the last meal the Titanic passengers ate . . . while his guests play a murder-mystery game. But it is the final feast for one passenger who disappears from the ship. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Now Val has to reel in a killer before s’more murders go down . . .
Includes delicious five-ingredient recipes!


Grab something to munch on and your white board before you begin this tangled tale.
Was the Titanic cursed? Does that curse carry over a hundred plus years later?
Is Val a murder magnet or does she just have really bad luck?

Val thinks the opportunity to cater a several course meal on a luxury yacht is exciting, until she discovers all the details. The guest list is puzzling, the addition of s'mores unusual for such a sophisticated gathering, and oh how tangled the clues will become as she and her "staff" try to recall the comings and goings of the guests.
Naturally, when a murder occurs, the spouse, who it appears has the most to gain, is a prime suspect. Sadly, a young man is caught in the crosshairs of this investigation, putting his future at risk. Motives run from chickens to racism to financial gain and revenge. See why I said to keep that white board close?

Friendship and family all add depth to the storyline. Will the real murderer be discovered? Could the authorities discover the truth without Val's assistance?
I enjoyed finding out.
