Murder comes well-seasoned in this charming mystery
featuring a smart and spunky new amateur sleuth, small-town
Georgia spice shop owner Piper Prescott
Piper Prescott, a transplanted Yankee living in the South,
has got her sass back. She might be down, but don't count
her out. "Change of life?" she asks. Bring it on.
Recently divorced, Piper decides to pursue a dream she's
secretly harbored: owning her own business, Spice it Up!, a
spice shop in her adopted hometown, Brandywine Creek,
Georgia. But Piper's grand opening goes awry when the local
chef who's agreed to do a cooking demo is found stabbed.
Not only did Piper find the body, she handled the murder
weapon and doesn't have a witness to her alibi, making the
case look like a slam dunk to brand new police Chief Wyatt
McBride. Desperate to uncover the truth—and prove her
innocence—Piper enlists the help of her outspoken BFF
Reba Mae Johnson to help track down the real culprit. The
pair compile a lengthy list of suspects and work to
eliminate them using their own creative brand of sleuthing
techniques including stakeouts, breaking and entering, and
one very unorthodox chocolate pie. When Piper narrowly
avoids being a victim of a hit-and-run, she knows she's
getting closer to the truth, but can she catch the killer
and clear her name before she becomes the next victim?
A captivating start to a new series featuring an unstoppably
fabulous new crime-solving heroine, a colorful cast of small
town characters, and more than a pinch of Georgia charm,
Rosemary and Crime by Gail Oust is sure to delight
fans of Diane Mott Davidson and Donna Andrews.
