Heil’s debut utilizes her national food reporter background to great effect, creating a compelling mystery behind Cam’s haunted cookbook, along with a cozy romance.—Kellie Tilton, Library Journal
Cam, a successful celebrity cookbook ghostwriter, leaves Brooklyn to stay temporarily in the small Virginia town of Silver Cove to facilitate necessary repairs to her grandmother's dangerously storm-damaged home. She hires single dad Ian, an appealing carpenter, but in order to pay for the work she has to stay on good terms with her current employer, a temperamental lifestyle guru who shows up unexpectedly. As the town gets ready to celebrate
the one hundredth anniversary of its claim to fame, the classic children's book, Stormy of Silver Cove, Cam finds a haunted recipe book written by Ada, the book's author. Despite communication challenges, Ada's ghost makes it clear she needs Cam to find something hidden in her former home, which is now Silver Cove's museum. Heil, food reporter for the Washington Post, makes her romance debut with a sweet feel-good tale of friendship, family, small-town life, and righting a historical wrong that is also a thoroughly enjoyable combination of romance, mystery, and the paranormal.
