Recipe for Murder; Brownies to Die For

Leslie Meier's Bake Sale Murder
Lucy Stone Mysteries, No. 13
(Paperback - December 1, 2007) 
ISBN-13:  978-0758207029

Things are changing in the tiny town of Tinker’s Cove, Maine, when contractor Fred Stanton puts up shoddy pre-fabricated homes near Lucy Stone’s farmhouse, bringing all sorts of new and sometimes difficult personalities to the neighborhood. Add in Fred’s meddlesome wife Mimi to the mix, with her mean spirited behavior creating trouble for everyone, and there is a recipe for murder. 

As the story opens, Lucy is making an effort to introduce the newcomers to her long-time friends by arranging a meeting for ideas to raise money for the school charity Hat and Mitten Fund. Cake and cookie batter aren’t the only things whipped up as the new group tries to develop strategies for a successful bake sale.
 
On the morning of the sale Lucy is sent to collect the missing Mimi and finds her murdered in her kitchen. One murder turns into two and who could be next? Lucy uses her part-time Pennysaver reporter skills to sleuth her way through finding the murderer.
