Summary

Young widow Ricki James-Diaz goes home to New Orleans after her social media star husband perishes doing a stupid internet stunt. Ricki's dream comes true when she joins the quirky staff of Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, the spectacular former Garden District home of the late bon vivant Genevieve "Vee" Charbonnet, the city's legendary restaurateur. Ricki is excited about turning her avocation--collecting vintage cookbooks--into a vocation by launching the museum's gift shop, Miss Vee's Vintage Cookbook and Kitchenware Shop. Then Ricki discovers that a donated trunk contains the body of a cantankerous Bon Vee employee who was fired after being exposed as a book thief. The skills Ricki has developed ferreting out hidden vintage treasures come in handy for investigations. But both her business and Bon Vee could wind up as dead stock when Ricki's past as a curator of a Ponzi-scheming billionaire's first edition collection comes back to haunt her
