Genre: Mystery
This Little Piggy Went to Murder (Sophie Greenway, #1)
It’s election year in Minnesota, and Jack Grendel is running hard for the U.S. Senate. But a pair of grotesque murders threatens to derail his campaign. One is the bizarre hanging of a consultant for Grendel Shipping. The other is the shooting of Jack’s own father soon after he withdraws financial support from his son’s campaign. When food critic Sophie Greenway, a family friend, starts snooping, it begins to look like one of her oldest friends is a killer. But will she discover which one before it’s her turn to die?
For Every Evil (Sophie Greenway, #2)
When powerful Minneapolis art critic Hale Micklenberg is murdered, there aren’t too many mourners. A master of the bad review, Micklenberg was bad news for a lot of people.
Food critic Sophie Greenway is nonetheless troubled to learn that her college-student son could be involved in the murder. But so could a host of others — including Hale Micklenberg’s artworld colleagues, various so-called friends, and the not-so-bereaved widow.
The Oldest Sin (Sophie Greenway, #3)
The historic Maxfield Plaza hotel in downtown St. Paul is packed to the rafters with two national conventions—the members of The Church of The Firstborn, and delegates to the annual Daughters of Sisyphus convention.
Five old college roommates are reunited: food critic Sophie Greenway, now owner of the hotel; Adelle, who married into the founding family of the Church of the Firstborn; Lavinia, mastermind of the Daughters of Sisyphus; and Bunny and Cindy, Lavinia’s top aides. But when a death terminates one of the gang, Sophie senses that not everyone is devastated by the loss.
As Sophie delicately probes the private affairs of her hotel’s star guests, she recalls another loss—of a young woman who had been the group’s sixth roommate. The buried secrets of that long-ago death are exhumed as a clandestine killer stalks the halls of the Maxfield plaza, preparing a taste of the oldest sin for the final victim.
Murder in the Air (Sophie Greenway, #4)
SERIAL MURDER
The yuletide revival of a vintage Twin Cities radio serial isn’t just for fun–dealing as it does with the scandalous unsolved 1950s murder of beautiful Kay Collins. But an even deeper mystery intrigues radio personality Bram Baldric and his sleuthing wife, Sophie Greenway: Why has the station’s owner insisted on airing this particular case when her son–Kay Collins’s two-timing lover–happened to have been the prime suspect in it? Merriment and mistletoe are out this Christmas; menace and murder are in.
Slice and Dice (Sophie Greenway, #5)
MURDER A LA CARTE
If all goes according to plan, Connie Buckridge’s culinary empire will soon boast a state-of-the-art cooking academy and restaurant in her home town of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Unfortunately, just when the kitchen queen and her bickering entourage hit town on a publicity tour, so does a bestselling investigative writer who is hot on her scandalous trail.
Primed by an anonymous e-mail informer, Marie Damontraville is preparing to cook Connie’s goose with a major expose of her strategies for success. The one missing ingredient in this unsavory stew is murder, and when food critic Sophie Greenway finds a cooking colleague stabbed with his own kitchen knife, a fire that has been smoldering for forty years suddenly bursts into flame. . . .
Dial M for Meat Loaf (Sophie Greenway, #6)
As Minnesota housewives race to meet the deadline for the Times Register’s meat loaf contest, an unsavory small-towner named Kirby Runbeck is blown to smithereens by a car bomb.
Days later, the town’s former mayor, John Washburn, near death from a stroke, confesses to the killing. His wife and two children vehemently deny it, but when Sophie Greenway, food maven and friend of the family, happens upon an old snapshot, a bundle of letters, and a tattoo of a red-eyed snake, she wonders about Washburn’s innocence. Unlike the recipe for a prize meat loaf, this murder is seasoned with spicy secrets and a generous portion of scandal, which Sophie dares to bring to a roiling boil…
Death on a Silver Platter (Sophie Greenway, #7)
Far from being the idyllic home Carl Veelund envisioned when he built Prairie Lodge years ago, the log mansion has become the repository of many terrible secrets. Two women are dead—and truths long hidden are about to be brought to light.
When restaurant reviewer-cum-sleuth Sophie Greenway stumbles upon an old diary, she has no idea it will toss her into the center of the family tragedy unfolding at Prairie Lodge. Sophie discovers that being a friend to Elaine Veelund, daughter of mansion’s designer, has become dangerous. Sophie soon realizes that in a recipe that calls for deceit, sibling rivalry, old grudges and ultimately murder, she may be the main ingredient.
No Reservations Required (Sophie Greenway, #8)
A KILLER WAS FULLY COMMITTED
Twin Cities businessman Ken Loy is the first to die; shot between the eyes during a sunset bike ride. Half an hour later, Bob Fabian, the rich and handsome owner of the Minneapolis Times Register, meets a similar fate. It was a year ago when Loy broadsided the VW Beetle driven by Fabian’ s wife, Valerie, killing her instantly. Coincidence? Sleuthing food critic Sophie Greenway doesn’ t buy it.
Indeed, the elegant Rookery Club, where the upper crust gathers to drink, dine, and gossip, is already simmering with rumors- about the murders, about a Times Register reporter’ s shameless fabrication of news stories, about rifts in two high-profile relationships. So when Sophie turns up the heat, the lethal bouillabaisse of twisted love, sadistic rage, and insatiable greed boils over. It seems that poisonous concoction murder du jour is back on the menu. . . .
