Pinewood Corner Kitchen Chapter 13

This was Gabriella’s case as much as it was Graham’s. Still, when she saw the confusion and the touch of skepticism on his face after she laid out her theory later that day, she felt like maybe she’d messed up. “You think they’re doing it to themselves?” he asked after she’d finished speaking. “Why, though?

Big and scary, but good. Gabriella had no idea what that could possibly mean, but she thought about it as she got to work the next day. Maybe a new assignment? Or she’d move to a new apartment? A boyfriend? She wasn’t looking right now, but maybe someday. Casey hadn’t said when this thing was […]

There was a staff meeting the next morning. Gabriella had taken a moment to update Graham on her findings before they started the meeting, but there’d been no time to do anything beyond that.

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. His public website had a phone number on it, so Gabriella didn’t feel like a hypocrite calling. After a few rings, someone picked up. “Romano.” […]

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, […]
