Out of the frying pan

About this book

When a popular chef who has just been selected as the new president of the Friends of the Farm is found murdered in her kitchen, health inspector Poppy Markham begins her own investigation to find the killer. Feast in the Field is the event of the season for Austin foodies. It's Poppy Markham's favorite opportunity to drink boutique wine and get the latest scuttlebutt from her pals in the restaurant business. But this year's hottest dish of gourmet gossip won't be whispered over a plate of cucumber crudités. The competition for the organization's new president-elect has been hotter than horseradish, and when the winner-- uptight restaurateur Dana White-- is struck down in her own kitchen, it's up to Poppy to figure out who took her off the menu!
