Cranberry & Conspiracy: a Savannah Thorne Holiday Catering Mystery (A Thanksgiving Cozy with Missing Knife and Deadly Family Secret)

A perfect Thanksgiving. A missing carving knife. And a patriarch who won't survive the toast. Savannah Thorne has catered enough estates to know that wealth doesn't prevent disaster - it just plates it beautifully. The Kensington family's holiday dinner is meant to repair old wounds. The table is set. The cranberry sauce follows a recipe older than anyone at the table. Then Archibald Kensington collapses in his study between courses. At first, it looks like a cardiac event. But Savannah notices two things: Her carving knife has vanished from the dining room sideboard. And the cranberry sauce tastes... wrong. As Sheriff Hargrove questions the household, Savannah quietly begins her own inventory - of pantry orders, of family rivalries, of who passed the carving station and when. A burned document smolders in the study fireplace. An unusual extract appears on the liquor order. And someone in the house understands legacy better than grief. Now the caterer with the missing knife must uncover the truth before she becomes the most convenient suspect in the room. Perfect for fans of country house mysteries, smart culinary sleuths, and
