Minister's wife, sometime sleuth, and culinary artist Faith Sibley Fairchild is intrigued by rumors of mysterious doings at Hubbard House - an elegant, secluded retirement home for the well-heeled Yankees of Aleford, Massachusetts. Determined to do some surreptitious snooping, she joins the pricey retreat's flu-depleted kitchen staff, only to witness an aging resident collapse face-first into a bowl of Faith's hot and savory boillon. But it isn't until a blackmailing drug dealer turns up dead in Faith's bedroom that the amateur investigator realizes that murder not only happens at Hubbard, it's the specialty of the house! And Faith's own demise might very well be the next item on the menu. From the Agatha Award-winning author of The Body in the Belfry comes a third entertaining cozy featuring minister's wife/amateur sleuth Faith Fairchild. Intrigued by rumors of mysterious doings at a secluded retirement home, Faith joins the kitchen staff to do some snooping--only to witness an aged resident collapse face-first into a bowl of soup.
