QUICHE OF DEATH

Book 3 in the Sugar & Spice Mysteries

by Mary Lee Ashford

When editor Sugar Calloway and baker Dixie Spicer went into business creating cookbooks, they found a sideline as amateur sleuths. Now a bitter family grudge could leave a fatal aftertaste…

At Sugar & Spice Community Cookbooks, the friends and business partners have secured a tasty new commission: producing a cookbook for the Arbor family. The Arbors have made their fortune in quiches, and Sugar and Spice have been invited to a weekend gathering where all the siblings, along with crusty matriarch Marta, will be in attendance. But it’s soon clear that this trip will come with a hefty slice of drama.

Theo, the only grandson, arrives with his flaky fiancée, Collette, who quickly stirs up trouble . . . and is found dead the next day. As the investigation unfolds, secrets—and recipes—are shared, and Sugar and Spice realize just how messy and murderous the situation may be. As another family member falls ill, can they solve the case without getting egg on their faces . . .and a target on their backs?

Preparation

   1. Place the diced chicken, celery, green onions and grapes in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.

   2. In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients (except for the almonds) until well mixed. Pour the mixture over the chicken salad and stir, making sure the chicken in thoroughly coated. 

   3. Cover and chill for at least two hours. 

   4. Sprinkle a few almonds on the chicken salad just before serving.

   5. Greer serves her chicken salad on croissants, but you can us sandwich bread or wraps just as easily. Or of you're watching your carbs, it's also good on a bed of butter lettuce.
