Book Description
Fresh out of the oven: the first in a new series of baking mysteries.

Includes recipes!

All year round, retired schoolteacher Phyllis Newsom is as sweet as peach pie-except during the Peach Festival, whose blue ribbon has slipped through Phyllis's fingers more than once...

Everyone's a little shook up when the corpse of a no-good local turns up underneath a car in a local garage. But even as Phyllis engages in some amateur sleuthing, she won't let it distract her from out-baking her rivals and winning the upcoming Peach Festival contest.

She and all the other contestants guard their secret, original recipes with their lives-and talk a whole lot of trash. With her unusual Spicy Peach Cobbler, Phyllis hopes to knock 'em dead. But that's just an expression-never in her wildest dreams did she think her cobbler would actually kill a judge. Now, she's suspected of murder-and she's got to bake this case wide open.

Cute cozy culinary mystery, the first in a new series. I found the characters pleasant and can see that their relationships will be developing along with the series. I did find this cozy a bit predictable, however, and I usually try to keep myself from figuring out whodunit! I won't be rushing out to find the second in the series, but if it crosses my path, I would certainly give it a read.
