    About this ebook

    When editor Sugar Calloway and baker Dixie Spicer went into business creating cookbooks, they found a sideline as amateur sleuths. Now a bitter family grudge could leave a fatal aftertaste…

    At Sugar & Spice Community Cookbooks, the friends and business partners have secured a tasty new commission: producing a cookbook for the Arbor family. The Arbors have made their fortune in quiches, and Sugar and Spice have been invited to a weekend gathering where all the siblings, along with crusty matriarch Marta, will be in attendance. But it’s soon clear that this trip will come with a hefty slice of drama.

    Theo, the only grandson, arrives with his flaky fiancée, Collette, who quickly stirs up trouble . . . and is found dead the next day. As the investigation unfolds, secrets—and recipes—are shared, and Sugar and Spice realize just how messy and murderous the situation may be. As another family member falls ill, can they solve the case without getting egg on their faces . . .and a target on their backs?

    * Includes delicious recipes! *

      I really enjoyed the Sugar and Spice Mystery series books one and two, and book three Quiche of Death did not dissapoint! Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. This book takes Sugar and Dixie out of St. Ignatius to a nearby exclusive inn, while still keeping the town characters woven through the story. I have grown to love the little town of St. Ignatius, and hope to see more coming in this series. Mary Lee Ashford writes a great comfort cozy. A lighthearted but still suspenseful read with a great mystery.
