First entry in the new Phantom Cooks Mystery Series, three friends in Maine start a small catering business, but when a severed thumb turns up in their potato leek soup the women spend more time trying to stay out of jail than in the kitchen as they solve this lighthearted murder mystery.

"This may just become my favorite cozy mystery series ..." - Marjory Sorrell Rockwell, author of the Quilters Club Mysteries.The Phantom Cooks -- Marcia Lambert, Jean Turlington, and Peggy Doyle -- those three friends in a small seaside town in Southern Maine who run a part-time catering business -- are faced with their second mystery: local citizens being boiled alive. An old-time punishment for poisoners, boiling seems like a strange method for murder, so the amateur sleuths take on the case to the consternation of Police Chief Montgomery Knoble. Where will this investigation take them? Let's just say things get heated.
