Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A blizzard, a chess conspiracy, two murders, and an outsider baker who reads people the way she reads recipes: carefully, completely, and always looking for what's missing. The storm came in fast on the second evening of the Bald Mountain Lodge chess invitational, and by the time the wind reached the ridge, it had made the decision for everyone: no one was going anywhere.Jean Hudson, the lodge's new baker, had been planning to stay regardless. The job was a stopgap, one more chapter in the ongoing project of a woman who had recently lost everything and was attempting to rebuild from the most basic ingredients. She had flour on her hands, a small room on the service wing, and no investment in the tournament drama unfolding at the far end of the building. The chess players were polished, intense, and utterly absorbed in their own private game.Jean was fine with that. She didn't need to know their stories.Before the third round, Riley McHenry, the fifteen-year-old prodigy who had everyone talking, disappeared from his room in the night. Then Arthur Finch, a veteran player with a complicated relationship with the lodge's finances, was found dead in the east corridor. And Jean found herself doing what she had always done in her bakery, in her marriage, in every situation where the surface didn't match what was underneath: paying attention.The people sealed inside Bald Mountain Lodge with her are not simply stranded strangers. They are the pieces in a game that has been running for years: a chess coach with blood on his hands; a lodge manager with gambling debts and misplaced loyalties; a fierce retired professor protecting a grandson she can no longer save; a young woman carrying her mother's wooden pawn as the only inheritance left to her. The conspiracy Jean unravels is elegant, old, and very cold. The moves were made long before the storm arrived. Jean is walking into the endgame.She doesn't know chess. She knows something more useful: she knows how to find what's missing.A Recipe for Checkmate is the first novel in the Jeanine Hudson Mystery series: a cozy mystery with real teeth, set in the snowbound isolation of the Colorado Rockies.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Killer was Precise to the Last Detail. So Was She. In a town of two thousand, a food pantry director sees everything. She sees which families are having a hard autumn. She sees whose donation has gotten smaller and who has started coming back. She sees the man at the edge of the chess tournament crowd who isn't watching the games. Mel Hunter has run The Giving Spoon for four years. She has learned to read a room, a register sheet, and a stranger's body language with equal precision. When Bernard Travers is killed by a bee swarm during the Possum Gap Chess Tournament, she sees what no one else is looking for: bees that don't behave properly, a panic that moves too fast for accident, a murder method hidden behind the most public possible death. The investigation she runs from a food pantry supply closet, with a culinary chef student who loves chemistry, a Tennessee-born logistics wizard, and a beekeeper who is simultaneously her most important witness and her wrongfully arrested friend, is the kind of investigation nobody takes seriously until it's over. Mel doesn't need to be taken seriously. She needs to be right. What she uncovers is a murder so carefully constructed it could only have been built by someone with patience, chemistry knowledge, and a twenty-four-year score to settle. The killer understood queen pheromone biology, the touch-move rule in competitive chess, and the behavioral patterns of the man he intended to kill. He was precise, methodical, and almost got away with it - because the one detail he couldn't anticipate was a woman who notices things. Dead to Rites introduces a series set in the specific warmth of small-town Tennessee, anchored by a protagonist with rare moral clarity and a supporting cast of characters who are in the story for the right reasons: a team of people who care about the same things Mel cares about, and a community that is worth saving. The bees are innocent. The killer is brilliant. And Mel Hunter is exactly the right person to find him. This item is printed on demand.
