The Body in the Bouillon - Tapa dura

Minister's wife, sometime sleuth and culinary artist Faith Sibley Fairchild is intrigued by rumours of mysterious goings on at Hubbard House - an elegant, secluded retirement home for the well-heeled Yankees of Aleford, Massachusetts. Determined to do some surreptitious snooping, she joins the flu-depleted kitchen staff. But after witnessing a resident collapse face-first into a bowl of her bouillon and finding a murdered drug dealer in her room, Faith realizes that murder is the speciality of the house. And her own untimely demise might be the next item on the menu.

Katherine Hall Page is the author of thirteen Faith Fairchild mysteries. Her previous novel, The Body in the Belfry received the Agatha Award for Best First Mystery Novel and was also published by Robert Hale. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and son.
