The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie's Biscuits

by Wanda E. Brunstetter & Martha Bolton

Miss Fannie is preparing for a baking contest when an unsettling pattern emerges: finalists begin disappearing before the competition can even be decided. Her concern draws in Foster, a retired police officer turned private investigator, and the pair start sorting through a surprisingly long list of people with motives. Recipes, rivalries, and Amish-community connections give the investigation a deceptively cozy surface while the stakes become increasingly serious. This light mystery mixes baking, amateur sleuthing, and gentle humor with a case in which winning a blue ribbon may be the least of anyone's worries.
