Lillard, A: Murder of Aspic Proportions

"Professional advice columnist turned cafâe manager and amateur sleuth Sissy Yoder is adjusting to life in her parents' small but not-so-sleepy former hometown of Yoder, Kansas, where family is plentiful, the tomatoes are "to die for"--and murder is often in season . . .Twenty-something Sissy Yoder never imagined herself running her Aunt Bethel's cafâe, but her help is needed, so she's making a go of it. And she must admit that life in tiny Yoder has been anything but dull-she's already solved one homicide--after being named the prime suspect in the case! Enjoying a peaceful respite after all that excitement, Sissy just wants to write her advice column, hang out with her loyal Yorkie, Duke, and procure some of local farmer Walt Summers' scrumptious "To Die For" tomatoes for the Sunshine Cafâe's menu. But when the unsavory Summers-resented by just about everyone in town-turns up murdered in his garden shed, it's up to Sissy to roll up her sleeves, dig for some clues, and weed out the culprit . . ." --
