Fried by Jury

FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Book ten in the tantalizing Hemlock Falls series is another delicious combination of crime and cuisine, including a tempting recipe from the Inn at Hemlock Falls. The Quilliam sisters are rightly proud of their 27-room inn. Between Meg's delectable concoctions in the kitchen and Quill's flawless artistic taste, it's the showplace of their small village in upstate New York. But being partners in the inn doesn't mean the sisters always agree, and they're certainly at odds over their proper role in the upcoming Fry Away Home festival and deep-fry cooking contest. Meg claims that nothing would make her agree to judge the prestigious national contest -- not the high fee being offered, and not the priceless publicity opportunities for the inn that would come with the job. The only thing she hates as much as the idea of the judging the contest herself is knowing that because she turned it down the job will go to the enormously popular TV chef Banion O'Haggerty, a sexy Irish expatriate whom Meg has strong personal reasons for wanting to keep far, far away. But Meg's temper isn't the only one percolating over as preparations for the deep-fry festival get underway: The owner of Holcomb Wholesome Chicken, a contest sponsor, and his archrival, the owner of Captain Cluck's Chicken Shack, are out to boil each other in oil as the competition heats up. When O'Haggerty is found murdered, the investigation leads to a veritable banquet of surprising clues and unexpected suspects. Sue Stone
