Humor, Suspense & Recipes In This Page Turner

    While one confounding mystery would be enough for most our erstwhile caterer/amateur sleuth Faith Fairchild is confronted with three.   As many know Faith, who is married to the Reverend Thomas Fairchild, has adjusted pretty well to life as a minster’s wife in Aleford, Massachusetts, and has made a host of friends.

    As our story opens her best friend, Pix Rowe Miller, is preparing to leave town, going South to participate in preparations for her son’s wedding.  Pix is feeling a bit nervous as the bride’s mother appears to be very glamorous while Faith has to work hard to make Pix even wear lipstick, although she marvels at Pix’s soft skin that has only known Bag Balm.

    Outside of Pix’s nervousness the overriding issue is concern for her elderly mother, Ursula Rowe, who is in fragile health.  Faith has promised to keep an eye on Ursula, and is looking forward to doing so as Ursula has made it clear to Faith that she needs help.  Faith cannot imagine what that might be about.  Perhaps something that happened in the 1930s?

    Meanwhile an uppity curmudgeon at Tom’s church, Sherman Monroe, has accused Tom of pilfering $10,000 from the minister’s discretionary fund.  Of course, he did no such thing.  But Tom is the only person with access to the funds...what, who, and why?

    As if Faith didn’t have enough on her mind there are phone calls from Pix in Hilton Head, South Carolina, which simply illustrate that life is stranger than fiction because Pix Rowe Miller, “her best friend and next-door neighbor and currently starring as the mother of the groom in a swanky resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina, had, in her distant past, slept with the father of the bride.”

    How is that for a plethora of problems?  Leave it to Katherine Hall Page to inject both humor and suspense into this page turner as well as concluding with some of her trademark recipes.

    Enjoy!
