Peg Cochran hit the Cozy Mystery scene when she released her first Gourmet De-Lite mystery. Gigi (a gourmet caterer) and her West Highland White Terrier (Reg) kept very busy while solving crimes between the food preps! Peg also writes the Sweet  Nothings Lingerie Mystery Series as Meg London. Well, for those of us who follow Peg/Meg >>> she has just signed on to write a new historical mystery series as Peg Cochran.
