Synopsis

Agatha Award-Winning Author A caterer gets mixed up in murder in “another delightful installment in a charming series” (Booklist). Faith Fairchild is momentarily shocked to find her husband, the Reverend Thomas Fairchild, embracing Lora Deane—and relieved to discover the distraught nursery school teacher is merely seeking solace and advice. Lora has been receiving threatening phone calls. And she’s not the only resident of tiny Aleford, Massachusetts, who is being terrorized. Ever since local environmentalists began protesting the proposed housing development that will destroy Beecher’s Bog, the more vocal opponents have become targets of a vicious campaign of intimidation—which is more than enough reason for Faith to launch into some clandestine sleuthing. But when a body turns up in the charred ruins of a very suspicious house fire, Faith is suddenly investigating a murder—and in serious danger of getting bogged down in a very lethal mess indeed…

Seventh in the Faith Fairchild amateur sleuth mystery series revolving around a caterer married to a man of the cloth in Aleford, Massachusetts.

Goodreads review by Susan on July 07, 2016

The little town of Aleford is roiled at the possibility of developing Beecher's Bog, all the moreso when one of the opponents of the plan is found bludgeoned in a burning building. Caterer Faith Fairchild and her husband Tom, the local minister, don't like the development plan, which will put a road......more

Goodreads review by Clare on March 13, 2024

This mystery is another one which hinges on commercial development of natural land, in this case a bog which used to be a cranberry farm and borders a national park. Unfortunately, the town is split over proposals and more than one murder occurs. I don't know if it's just the writer's way of telling......more

Goodreads review by Laurie on February 13, 2018

It was nice to read such an eclectic book and have it be almost entirely free of innuendo with only mild swearing. Plus, the cooking stuff is always attractive to someone as food-centric as me. I would read more.......more
