Description

Kill 'Em with Cayenne, a brand new finger-lickin' good mystery from Gail Oust, featuring small-town Georgia spice shop owner Piper Prescott, a smart and spunky amateur sleuth.
Spices are flying off the shelves of Spice It Up!, and Piper Prescott couldn't be happier. It's that time of year again—time for the annual Brandywine Creek Barbecue Festival. Soon contestants and BBQ aficionados from all over the Southeast will converge on the town. Many of Brandywine Creek's citizens plan to participate in the week-long festivities and are busily concocting savory rubs and sassy sauces. Among the locals vying for the grand prize are Becca Dapkins and Maybelle Humphries. The women have been arch enemies ever since Buzz Oliver dumped Maybelle after a thirteen-year courtship and started seeing Becca.
When Becca's body is found near one of the festival booths, bludgeoned by a brisket, Maybelle becomes one of Chief Wyatt McBride's top suspects. Determined to help clear her friend's name, Piper begins her own investigation, much to McBride's consternation. As the festival draws closer, will Piper and Reba Mae be able to find the real killer and clear Maybelle's name? Will Piper make it to the annual shag contest with Doug Winters, the mild-mannered vet she's been seeing? And, who will win the BBQ cook-off?

        In Oust’s tasty sequel to 2013’s Rosemary and Crime, the annual Brandywine Creek, Ga., barbecue festival is a boom time for Spice It Up!, the shop of fresh and exotic spices of divorced mom Piper Prescott. The return of Brandywine native Barbara Bunker Quinlan, who hosts a new show on the Cooking Network, adds an unexpected jolt to the festival. With a chip on her shoulder and scores to settle, Quinlan immediately clashes with attractive Becca Dapkins, who has already clashed with Maybelle Humphries, manager of the town’s chamber of commerce, whose boyfriend Becca stole. When Piper finds Becca under an azalea bush, bludgeoned to death with a frozen brisket, police chief Wyatt McBride views Maybelle as his prime suspect. Sleuthing takes a backseat to such relationship difficulties as Piper’s attraction to dangerously handsome Wyatt and her 16-year-old daughter Lindsey’s infatuation with an older boy. Plenty of spice lore adds flavor to this amiable mystery. Agent: Jessica Faust, BooksEnds.

        Piper Prescott's shop, Spice It Up!, on the town square in Brandywine Creek, Georgia, is a busy place in the days before the annual Barbecue Festival, attracting local cooks and visiting ones alike, all seeking the edge they need to be the best. In full view of two out-of-towners, Maybelle and Becca squabble, again, over Maybelle's former and now Becca's current boyfriend, with Becca's parting shot being, Over my dead body! Unfortunately, Becca's dead body is found the next morning by Piper's dog. Things heat up still more when flashy, buxom Barbie Q, a food-show host, sails into town hoping to do a segment on the festival. Except that what she really wants is to expose her hometown as the place she endured as Barbara Bunker, bookish teenager from the wrong side of town. Barbie Q's past isn't the only history Piper and her pal Reba Mae uncover in an effort to keep their friend Maybelle from being arrested. For readers who enjoy the small-town camaraderie of Laura Childs' series or Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand series. Includes recipes and a guide to peppers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
