This is the fifth book in the Silver Sisters Mysteries, a comical crime caper series. The first four were already produced by Books in Motion. A sixth book is in work.

Identical twins Goldie Silver, an over-the-hill flower child from Juneau, Alaska and her identical twin Godiva Olivia DuBois, a wealthy widow who writes a syndicated advice to lovelorn column from her Beverly Hills estate, don't go looking for trouble—it finds them. Their 80-year-old mother and uncle are former vaudeville magicians who love to dress in disguise and go undercover but always seem to end up in hot water.

In Murder on the Menu, Goldie's daughter Chili Pepper receives a phone call from her high school boyfriend, Roscoe Bean with a fantastic offer to move to Portland Oregon and become Executive Chef at a new restaurant. Is it worth it for her to leave her career on the Flirting With Food TV show? You bet it is. The new restaurant is owned by Jordan Jambon, who has just been named as one of the top 20 chefs in the country. What she doesn't anticipate is a rash of murders, all in the Pettygrove mansion where she and Roscoe, Jambon, her Alaskan friend Ozzie and a seemingly innocent girl from Minnesota named Willow are roommates.

The plot deepens in every chapter, and, like every Silver Sister Mystery, the ending is a twist.
