SUMMARY:A SPIRITED SUPPER AT DUNDOON CASTLE: Darci Hannah in conversation with Holly Danvers
DESCRIPTION:From the author of The Beacon Bakeshop Mysteries\, is the sequel of “A Fatal Feast at Bramsford Manor”\, set at a haunted Scottish castle and featuring a reality cooking show chef whose culinary creations connect her with audiences everywhere—even spirits from beyond. \nInspired by the real legend of the ghostly bagpiper of Duntrune Castle—which is the oldest\, continuously occupied castle in Scotland. Hannah’s new series is perfect for fans of paranormal cozies such as Victoria Laurie’s “Ghost Hunter Mysteries”\, readers of culinary cozies like Joanne Fluke’s “Hannah Swensen Mysteries”\, and lovers of armchair travel cozies like Carlene O’Connor’s “Irish Village Mysteries”. \nJoin Darci Hannah at Blue House Books on Wednesday\, April 15th\, at 6:30 p.m.\, where she will be discussing the latest installment in the Food & Spirits series with fellow mystery (and thriller) author\, Holly Danvers (“Lie in the Tide”)\, answering questions from the audience\, and signing books!\nThis event requires a $5 reservation deposit. Get all the details here: https://withfriends.co/…/a_spirited_supper_at_dundoon… \nAbout A SPIRITED SUPPER AT DUNDOON CASTLE: \nWhen chef Bridget “Bunny” MacBride got a role on the reality show Food & Spirits\, she thought “spirits” meant cocktails. Instead\, she’s cooking up dinners meant to tempt the departed to appear. And to her surprise\, she’s discovered abilities to connect with the beyond—and crack murder cases . . .\nNow that Bunny’s entrées come with a side of the Other Side\, it comes in handy to have a grandma who’s friendly with the elderly owners of a haunted Scottish castle. During Bunny’s childhood she heard all about Dundoon’s bloody history and the “ghostly piper” who roamed the grounds—and soon she’ll be visiting the ancient place with her ghost hunter and psychic co-stars. The annual bagpipe competition in the late piper’s honor will make for some good footage as well. \nAfter Bunny serves a feast fit for a 17th century king\, including lamb chops with plenty of fresh herbs\, she heads outdoors for the ghost hunt. But in the dark\, dense fog\, someone fatally plunges from the clifftop over the loch. The sound that follows is a mournful\, otherworldly bagpipe . . . and once the body of another perished piper is retrieved\, Bunny is determined to solve this Highlands homicide—and prevent a killer from getting off scot-free . . . \nAbout DARCI HANNAH: \nDarci Hannah grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago\, is a graduate of Indiana University\, and currently lives in a small town in Michigan with her husband\, three sons\, and two dogs. She has lived around the Great Lakes all her life and considers them a source of inspiration. When she’s not engaged in a rollicking family adventure\, walking her dogs\, or working at the historic Howell Carnegie District Library\, she’s either baking up a storm or hard at work on her next Beacon Bakeshop Mystery. Visit her at DarciHannah.com. \nAbout LIE IN THE TIDE: \nTheirs is a reunion . . . to die for! Four friends are meeting at a beautiful Cape Cod beach house for a long overdue reunion. But before the trip is over\, one of them will wind up dead . . . Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Lucy Foley. \nIt’s been twenty years since Mori\, Avery\, Remi and Calista last saw each other. As they reconnect on Cape Cod to celebrate Calista’s fortieth birthday\, each one hides a painful and devastating secret. \nFormer introvert Mori is now a bestselling erotica author. She’s more successful than she ever dreamed\, and yet shamefully on the cusp of divorce number three. \nRemi’s a yoga instructor\, blissfully married to her high school sweetheart. On this trip\, she’s concealing her pregnancy – and the baby’s paternity.\nQuiet Avery is a farm wife living in Iowa. Her life doesn’t have the scandals of her friends’. But she does have a house full of kids she fears she’ll never see again . . . \nAnd Calista\, the quintessential suburban mom and high school English teacher\, is harboring the biggest secret of all.\nThese four women are about to learn that one little white lie could kill more than just their friendship . . . \n“Lie in the Tide” is an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller that digs deep into those little white lies that have the potential to turn deadly. \nAbout HOLLY DANVERS: \nHolly Danvers pens multiple mystery series under several pseudonyms. A New England Native\, she now resides in the Midwest with her husband\, where she’s already plotting her next novel.
