Hannah Swensen thought shed finally discovered the recipe for a perfect life. But her sometime beau Norman Rhodes tosses a surprise ingredient into the mix when he phones to tell her hes just bought a house from local drugstore clerk Rhonda Scharf -- which he plans to tear down in order to build the dream home he and Hannah designed. It seems the plan has been cooking for quite some time, and Hannahs shocked. Especially since her ring finger is still very much bare.
The good news is that the soon-to-be-torn-down house is full of antiques -- and Norman has given Hannah and her mother first dibs. They uncover some gorgeous old furniture, a patchwork quilt... and Rhonda Scharfs dead body. Not exactly what they were looking for. A little more sleuthing turns up the half-eaten remains of a very special dinner for two -- and one of The Cookie Jars famous lemon meringue pies. Its obvious Rhonda was expecting someone for dinner -- perhaps one of the men she was secretly dating. Now its up to Hannah to turn up the heat -- and get busy tracking down clues. Starting in her very own kitchen...
