Synopsis

The Agatha Award-winning author serves up a “prequel to the successful series featuring caterer Faith Fairchild . . . An excellent beginning” (Library Journal).Before she met and married the Reverend Thomas Fairchild and moved to sleepy little Aleford, Massachusetts, Faith Sibley Fairchild had a catering business in the most colorful, frenetic, and exciting city in the world . . .Young, ambitious and single in New York City in the late ’80s, Faith Sibley is energized by the early success of her Have Faith catering enterprise. But she’s cast into an unexpected new role when she runs into old high school friend Emma Stanstead at a swanky uptown party: sleuth! An anonymous blackmailer is threatening to expose certain secrets of socialite Emma’s less-than-glamorous past—thereby destroying her reputation and her conservative husband’s fast-rising political career—and Faith fearlessly leaps into the fray. Though she lacks experience, Faith’s keen instinct, insight, and determination to unmask an extortionist quickly carry her deep into the high and low life of the bustling Big Apple. And when a murder raises the stakes, Faith realizes that it’s not just her old friend’s good name that’s in peril . . . it’s Emma’s life itself.

Goodreads review by Ivonne on January 26, 2025

I suspect that author Katherine Hall Page envisioned a second Faith Fairchild series, one set in the 1980s and 1990s, when Faith was still Faith Sibley, a young, hip New York City socialite/caterer, and had yet to meet the Reverend Tom Fairchild. A sort of Rugrats: All Grown Up! but in reverse. I’m......more

Goodreads review by Debby on October 11, 2021

This wasn't my favorite. This is Book 10 in the series but it is a single Faith who just started her catering business. The time frame just didn't make sense. The setting was New York at Christmas so the reflections of New York in the past helped a little. The plot was way out there compared to some......more

Goodreads review by Franklie on April 27, 2020

This was my first Katherine Hall Page book and I didn't get very far. I'm not a fan of conversations without natural flow. Meaning... they get interrupted by back story or page-long explanations of what characters are thinking. The first 20 pages of the book jumped all over history and I just got bo......more

Before she met and married the Reverend Thomas Fairchild and moved to sleepy little Aleford, Massachusetts, Faith Sibley Fairchild had a catering business in New York City. I have been picking up some cozies for an afternoon read. I prefer the later books in the series, but always enjoy Faith, her s......more

Goodreads review by Sue on August 23, 2024

Thought I’d try a new mystery series. Evidently she has a huge series that all starts with "The Body in ……”. This one explains how she gets started as a sleuth even though it’s #10. I liked her characters. I read it rather quickly because I wanted to see how it ended. Held my interest. Satisfactory e......more
