Pinewood Corner Kitchen Chapter 8

Gabriella couldn’t quite read the look on Graham’s face the next morning as she told him about the conversation Steve Chapman had had on that podcast.  “So he’s psychic,” he said. “They both are,” she corrected. “Or, at least they claim to be.” “I don’t see why he’d lie.” She didn’t bother laying out the […]

The next morning, Gabriella set up shop in the pink bedroom with a laptop and started researching the Chapmans. Their website, also named Pinewood Corner Kitchen, was enormous, containing an intimidating amount of recipes. Each had a story to go with it. Nothing too long, but a little while of reading gave her some insight […]

The Chapmans’ house was only a block away from their professional headquarters. Like Pinewood Corner Kitchen, their actual home was old, welcoming, and very, very wealthy. Or, at least it came across as welcoming. The Chapmans themselves were anything but when Gabriella and Graham arrived the next morning to cleanse and put up sensors. “These […]

Finding Casey Romano wasn’t difficult. There were a few people with that name in the United States, but not many. And only one was a chef located in Worcester County.

The phone rang a couple hours later while Gabriella was working on research for Madelyn’s upcoming case. Unfortunately, she was the closest person to the phone, so she answered. “Hi, Gabriella. This is Richard McGovern.” So it was what James had called a quality McGovern day more than once. “What can I do for you, […]

“That was disappointing,” Gabriella said as they drove up the highway back toward Leominster. “I get it though,” Graham said. “They’ve built this empire and if their secrets got out, other people could either use them to build themselves up or destroy them.” She thought that was a bit dramatic for a cooking blog, but […]

Gabriella spent another hour or so at headquarters before she and Graham headed out. There wasn’t much to prepare for the case. They’d be interviewing the owners of Pinewood Corner Kitchen, which described itself as an “elite home for upscale home cooking that is nourishing, exciting, and just delicious to eat.” As tempted as she […]

Lunch was at least one interview trip away, but Gabriella’s stomach was growling as she listened to Madelyn and Graham talk about the cooking class they went to last night.  “They swapped in microgreens for the iceberg lettuce,” Madelyn said, fiddling with the head of her cane as she reminisced. “And I don’t remember the […]

Auntie Jules ended up getting James’s parents at the airport and setting them up at her house. James knew his and Graham’s place wasn’t a good setup for guests and he’d been about to offer to pay for a hotel when Auntie Jules called to not so much ask him as tell him that he […]

James was off the next day and he didn’t have anything to do. His mother had texted him, asking if he was feeling alright since they hadn’t heard from him this week. He needed to answer her before she asked Auntie Carrie to ask Gabriella, who he had not mentioned any of this to. But […]
