Synopsis

Meg Quilliam would rather eat a rat than judge a deep-fat frying contest. But when celebrity chef Banion O’Haggerty offers to do it—for a pretty penny—and decides to stay at Quill and Meg’s inn, it’s the start of even more turmoil. Before the new franchise even opens, Mr. Holcomb has competition: Captain Cluck is setting up shop here too. Then, a butcher knife is missing and so is Banion! It’s anyone’s guess who will ruffle this killer’s feathers next …

Goodreads review by Chana

An hour after I finished it and I've forgotten where it is set. The plot is hazy (it was hazy even when I was reading it), I don't understand how Meg and Quill run an Inn.

Goodreads review by Linda

This was my first book by this author. My husband lived in the area of upstate NY where the book is set so I was intrigued. A country inn with a quirky cast of characters has lots of potential, but this story was slow and I had a hard time staying with it. The abrupt ending is completely improbable......more

Goodreads review by Kate

Wasn't a very balanced story. When a mystery doesn't have a murder until a third of the way into the book, it does what Fried by Jury did and struggled with pacing.

Good book. Never a dull moment. Interesting to see how "dangerous" fast food can be without even eating it. This series definitely makes me want to visit the inn. Would be a fun vacation itself. Can't wait to read more.......more
