description: The country's hottest TV cooking show is coming to Cape Cod. And against her better judgment Lily Roberts is entering America Bakes! with her charming tearoom Tea by the Sea! Filming is already proving disruptive closing the tearoom during Lily's busiest season. But tensions really bubble over when infamous bad-boy chef and celebrity judge Tommy Greene loses his temper with Lily's staff resulting in an on-camera blowout with Cheryl Wainwright. Just as Lily thinks the competition can't get more bitter Tommy is found dead in Tea by the Sea's kitchen . . . murdered with Lily's rolling pin.Suspicion immediately falls on Cheryl but the temperamental star has racked up plenty of culinary clashes in the past both on- and off-screen. And nearly anyone associated with Tommy or the show could be the killer: be it one of Lily's fierce competitors a member of the beleaguered film crew or even one of Tommy's fellow judges--struggling cookbook maven Claudia D'Angelo or beauty contest winner Scarlet McIntosh. Now while she's baking up a storm for the show Lily must also whip up an impromptu investigation . . . before the murderer rolls someone else away.
