Book Synopsis
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.
