Stabbed in the Baklava

Lucy Berberian has taken over her family's Mediterranean restaurant on the Jersey Shore after an unsatisfying stint at a Philadelphia law firm. It's great to be back in her old beach town, even if she's turning into a seasoned sleuth . . .

Catering a high-society wedding should bring in some big income for Kebab Kitchen--and raise its profile too. But it's not exactly good publicity when the best man winds up skewered like a shish kebab. Worse yet, Lucy's ex, Azad--who's the restaurant's new head chef--is the prime suspect. But she doesn't give a fig what the cops think. He may have killer looks, but he's no murderer. She just needs to prove his innocence, before he has to go on the lamb . . .
