Bel, Book and Scandal

An Irish-American culinary artist turned amateur sleuth takes on a missing persons case when she searches for her long-lost friend in this cozy mystery. Bel McGrath tries her best to keep herself on the straight and narrow but she just has a taste for trouble. This time danger arrives in the form of a newspaper left behind by visitors to Shamrock Manor—and a photograph that jolts Bel out of the present and back into a dark chapter from her past. The person in the photo is Bel's best friend Amy Mitchell, who disappeared long ago under mysterious circumstances. The picture, and Bel's burning desire to find out what happened to Amy—and whether she may still be alive—is the catalyst for a story in which old secrets are revealed, little by little . . . and certain characters are shown to not be as genuine as Bel once thought.
