Murder in Santa Fe - Dianne Harman - Bog

When Dani Rosetti, a world-famous celebrity chef, was hired to cater a gourmet dinner party in Santa Fe, New Mexico, it sounded heavenly. The guests scheduled to attend were some of the wealthiest Native American art collectors in the United States, and the dinner was to be held on the eve of the legendary Indian Market which takes place each year in August. In addition to the art collectors who would be attending the dinner, two art dealers and a beloved Native American artist were also on the invite list. But the threat of murder is never heavenly! Dani's sous-chef, Arthur, who is also the owner of an international private investigation firm, reviewed the list of invitees for the dinner and became very concerned. His research led him to believe that several guests might have a reason why they'd like to see one of the art dealers dead, and the others might as well. It seems the art dealer from New York, Julian Schimmer, is alleged to have sold fake Indian art pieces to several of the guests invited to the dinner. But what Arthur can't figure out is why Annabelle Rosen, the hostess, and probably the most successful gallery owner in Santa Fe, would invite Julian to the dinner? She was hosting the dinner for her wealthy clients, some of whom had bought fakes from Julian, which she well knew. Was Annabelle using the occasion as a carrot for romance with him? Julian would have a unique opportunity to meet her clients, and maybe, just maybe, he'd be so indebted to her that there would be a chance for romance. After all, the New York art dealer was a very, very attractive man. And so the age-old motives of greed and romance rear their ugly heads on the night before Indian Market, a night none of the guests will ever forget, nor will Dani! This is the 11th book in the Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.
