A BBQ contest has some killer competition in this second cozy mystery featuring a smalltown Southern spice shop ownerâincludes recipes!
As Brandywine Creek, Georgia, gears up for its annual barbecue festival, visitors from across the Southeast are flocking to Piper Prescottâs spice shop. Contestants rely on her premium spices to make prize-worthy rubs and sauces. But no one is more determined to win than local rivals Becca Dapkins and Maybelle Humphries.
The women have been arch enemies ever since Buzz Oliver dumped Maybelle and started seeing Becca. But the situation turns hotter than a jalapeño when Beccaâs body is found bludgeoned by a brisket. When Maybelle is named the prime suspect, Piper begins her own investigation to prove her friendâs innocence.
Piperâs search for the murderer heats up as grills smoke and mouth-watering scents of barbecue fill the air. But with the festival winding down, and time running out, Piper will have to unmask a meat-wielding murderer without getting filleted!
