The Antique Boat Show

Brass fittings, jealous rivals, and a killer with a shocking secret — welcome back to Carlton Cove. When caterer Sam Stellar sets up her van at the annual Antique Boat Show, she's expecting a day of lobster bisque, gleaming mahogany hulls, and friendly competition. What she gets instead is a crime scene at the end of the dock and a town full of suspects who all had reason to want the reigning champion out of the picture for good.

With her loyal poodle Dill sniffing out clues, her best friend Benny keeping the van running, and her accident-prone assistant Frankie keeping things interesting, Sam dives into a world of obsessive collectors, bitter grudges, and rivalries polished to a dangerous shine. Detective Cordero would really prefer she stop finding bodies at festivals, but someone in Carlton Cove is hiding the truth behind a fresh coat of varnish — and Sam isn't the type to look the other way.

Packed with sharp banter, small-town charm, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the final chapter, The Antique Boat Show is the fourth installment in the Recipe for Revenge series. Grab a cinnamon roll, find a spot by the harbor, and settle in — because in Carlton Cove, the prettiest surfaces always hide the ugliest secrets.
