Murphy's Mercantile, known as the Merc, has been a staple in Jewel Bay for over a hundred years. But Erin's freshly booming business might go rotten when a former employee turns up dead. So when Erin Murphy takes over her family's century-old general store, she turns it into a boutique market filled with local delicacies. The town of Jewel Bay, Montana-known as a Food Lovers' Village-is obsessed with homegrown and homemade Montana fare.

Leslie Budewitz (Author), Rebecca Mitchell (Narrator) Now, to keep the town's reputation from crashing and burning on national television, Erin will have to grill some suspects to smoke out the killer. With all the drama going on behind the scenes, it's hard to figure out who didn't have a motive to off the saucy contestant. But Erin's plans get scorched when one of the contending cooks is found dead. Not only is Erin Murphy busy remodeling her courtyard into a relaxing dining area, she's organizing a steak-cooking competition between three of Jewel Bay's hottest chefs to be featured on the program. Food Preneurs, one of the hottest cooking shows on TV, has decided to feature Jewel Bay in an upcoming episode, and everyone in town is preparing for their close-ups, including the crew at the Glacier Mercantile, a.k.a. But her scheme for culinary celebrity goes up in flames when the town's big break is interrupted by murder. Gourmet food market owner Erin Murphy is determined to get Jewel Bay, Montana's, scrumptious local fare some national attention.
