Jenna has moved back to her home town to help out her Aunt Vera run the local bookstore. A big event is coming up, the annual Grill Fest. Everyone one in town of course wants to enter their recipe in the contest.

As everyone is running around getting all their ingredients together, one of the contestants is found dead. Who would have killed Natalie? Could it be just because in all the previous years she always came out the winner?

Jenna know she should keep her nose out of police business, but she can't stand by and watch one of her friends take the blame for this murder.

Daryl Wood Gerber writes a very funny book. She brings out the best and the worst in the main character Jenna. I really enjoyed INHERIT THE WORD. For those of you who like recipes, that are several at the end of the book. I for one am always interested in trying out new recipes.

Have read one other book by Daryl Wood Gerber, and enjoyed that book as much as I did INHERIT THE WORD.
