Retreat The Current: A Retreat Mystery, Book 2, (Paperback)

<p><b>A chef. A cliff. A couples therapy retreat where someone is about to die.</b></p><p>June Park is a private chef with a dead restaurant and a living guilt. Six months ago, she called the IRS on her business partner, and the investigation killed everything: the accounts, the staff, the twelve-table Korean-Californian restaurant in Koreatown that was the best food she ever made. Now she is standing at a counter in Big Sur, cooking for six couples at a luxury therapy retreat called Driftwood, and the standing is the only thing she knows how to do.</p><p>The therapist is Dr. Lena Choi, a three-time divorcee whose opening line is: "A mechanic who has never had a breakdown does not know engines." The couples are broken in six different ways. The kitchen has a pass-through window that lets June hear everything. The cliff outside is unfenced. And the food June serves tells her things about these people that the therapy never will.</p><p>Then Lena is found at the base of the cliff. Forty feet from the edge. Too far for a fall.</p><p>Now June is trapped in a building with twelve suspects, a missing laptop, and the slow, patient realization that the person she likes most at this retreat may be the person who killed her only friend. The investigation unfolds the way a braise unfolds: with heat, with time, with the terrible understanding that tenderness and destruction require the same ingredients.</p><p><i>From the author of The Tide comes a literary mystery about marriage, food, murder, and the conversations we kill to avoid having.</i></p>
