The Body in the Gazebo - Katherine Hall Page - 259 pages

This a nice cozy Faith Fairchild Mystery. It actually combines story elements that appeal to me when I need a break from bloody thrillers: wife of a minister, caterer, mystery, and cozy. There are actually four plotlines to follow: Faith's husband is accused of embezzling $10,000 from his church, her friend Pix meets her son's soon-to-be inlaws and she discovers the bride's father is a figure from her past, Niki is struggling with being newly pregnant and doesn't want to tell her husband since he just lost his job, and finally Faith must solve the mystery of the murder of her good friend's brother 70 years ago. It all gets tied up neatly in the end and we get 4 recipes...Rum Cake sounds delish...Borscht not so sure about!
