“Delicious! A great read written by someone who knows the behind the scenes world of filmmaking...A winner!” – Kathryn Leigh Scott, Author of the Jinx Fogarty Mysteries
Penelope Sutherland and her Red Carpet Catering company just got their big break as the on-set caterer for an upcoming blockbuster. But when she discovers a dead body outside her house, Penelope finds herself in hot water. Things start to boil over when serious accidents threaten the lives of the cast and crew. And when the film’s star, who happens to be Penelope’s best friend, is poisoned, the entire production is nearly shut down.
Threats and accusations send Penelope out of the frying pan and into the fire as she struggles to keep her company afloat. Before Penelope can dish up dessert, she must find the killer or she’ll be the one served up on a silver platter.
“Loved this book! The characters are well-drawn and it’s cleverly plotted. Totally engrossing…I felt as though I was actually on a movie set. The author is well-versed in her setting and she is able to keep the reader in suspense. I can't wait for the second book in the series.” – Marianna Heusler, Edgar-Nominated Author of No End to Trouble
“Much of what makes this such an enjoyable new mystery is the background information on both catering and movie-making. Equally compelling is just how seamlessly author Simmons works Penelope into the investigation...this is a fun new series for readers who enjoy their theatrical showbiz mysteries with a culinary twist.” – Kings River Life Magazine
“With a likable cast of characters and an inside look at the movie industry, this was an equally entertaining and engaging debut.” – Dru’s Book Musings
“With characters that are well-developed and believable, Murder on a Silver Platter is an easy cozy mystery that flows quickly scene from scene...I look forward to reading more about Penelope and her catering adventures.” – The Reading Room
“Simmons has given us quite a good beginning to a new series; she manages to create characters that are both believable and likable, while weaving in small tidbits of movie-making and what is involved in catering food to a movie crew. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Highly recommended.” – Any Good Book
“A fun mystery on a movie set and delightful chef with delicious sounding food. Am eager to read Murder on the Half Shell next. Shawn Reilly Simmons has a flair!” – Penn State Librarian
