Pary Barry & John- Now We're Cooking - PB & J, #9

Pary has entered a cooking contest, with an unpleasantly surprised John as her partner. The catch? It's being filmed for television, and none of the contestants cook or bake. The prize? Ten thousand dollars. Things are already falling apart when the hostess dies on stage the first night of filming, and Detective Peter Pipe steps in to solve the mystery. With each group cooking traditional dishes from their heritage, Pary's in trouble- she was adopted and doesn't know her heritage! And John's no help.
As the teams drop out, one by one, Pary and John might actually have a shot at winning this thing. And Detective Pipe has a good chance of solving the murder with help from Pary.
