The Dead Husband Cookbook

Maria Capello is a celebrity chef like no other. A household name, an inspiration, an icon. Her dozens of cookbooks and weekly television show, broadcast from her beautiful Italian-style kitchen, not to mention her line of bestselling supermarket sauces. And of course there's her history. Once just the timid wife of famous chef Damien Capello, she stepped into the spotlight after Damien's mysterious disappearance twenty years before. An event she's never spoken about publicly until now, when it is announced that she is looking for a publisher for her memoirs.

"Knives Out meets Evelyn Hugo with a pinch of Nora Ephron's Heartburn, The Dead Husband Cookbook takes a murder mystery, rolled in family drama, and roasts it in the heat of feminine fury. I devoured every page." -- Stacie Grey, author of She Left and She Didn't Stand a Chance

"The Dead Husband's Cookbook is delightfully twisted and utterly delicious. It had me gripped from the very first page and wouldn't let up until that shocking and satisfying ending. Danielle Valentine is a master of the horror thriller, and I can't wait to see what she does next!" -- Sara Ochs, author of This Stays Between Us
