Thank you for inviting me back to Mystery Lovers Kitchen!
I'm delighted to celebrate with my friends here the debut of the second
Fixer-Upper Mystery movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, based on my book,
CROWNED AND MOLDERING.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Contractor Shannon Hammer works
on plenty of hot properties but is about to tackle her first cold case...
When
Mac Sullivan—famous thriller writer and Shannon's new beau—first moved to
Lighthouse Cove, California, he bought the historic lighthouse mansion that is
the town's namesake. Of course, Mac needs help returning the run-down place to
its former glory, and Shannon is more than happy to get her handywoman hands
busy. But the renovation grinds to a halt after the remains of a missing young
woman are found.
Fifteen
years ago, locals assumed Lily Brogan had simply run away. Now Shannon knows
she must pry the right secrets and clues from Lily's problematic past, and
bring the guilty to justice, before an old murder sparks a new killing...
I thought you might enjoy a few pictures from my visit to
the set of Concrete Evidence.
I felt giddy when I saw Lighthouse Cove—from my imagination—on
the side of a police car.
And…. Action! Deputy Tommy is behind the board. This is the
first scene that I watched being filmed.
The amazing cast: Jason Cermak (Tommy), Erin Karpluk
(Jennifer/Jane in the books), Jewel (Shannon), me (me), and Colin Ferguson
(Mac). They welcomed me warmly, despite working 15- to 20-hour days.
One of the crew members had a pink leather tool belt—a nod
to Shannon's pink tools in the books???
Jewel is lovely and perfect in the role of Shannon.
The charming Lighthouse Cove waterfront. One of my favorite
scenes was filmed here.
I wanted to share a recipe inspired by the book. Buuuuut…
"moldering" doesn't exactly sound appetizing. So instead, I decided
to share a seasonal recipe. What could be more perfect for mystery readers than
deviled Easter eggs? (cue evil
laughter)
Kate Carlisle's Deviled Easter Eggs
12 hard-boiled eggs (I did them in my pressure cooker
because they're easier to peel)
¼ cup + 1 tbsp mayonnaise
¼ cup whipped cream cheese with chives
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest
½ tsp minced fresh dill
4 oz smoked salmon
Peel the eggs, then slice them in half lengthwise. Put the
yolks in a blender with the remaining ingredients, except the salmon. Blend.
Carefully spoon yolk mixture into the egg whites. Roll a small piece of salmon
and press it into the top.
