“Foodies will love the recipes and fans the new adventures of the five friends.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“This diverse group might appear to be an eccentric and unlikely bunch, but their fun-loving and amateur-sleuthing ways are a winsome combination.” ―Mystery Reviews

In their latest mystery, librarian James Henry and his supper club friends might get raked over the coals while trying to count calories and catch a killer . . .

Having gained local fame for their role in solving murders, James and his friends are invited to serve as guest judges at Hog Fest, a celebrated barbecue festival in the Virginia mountains. The heavenly aromas and succulent samples are enough to make anyone fall off the diet wagon, but when the reigning champ rubs someone the wrong way and turns up dead, James and the others will find themselves hungry for justice.

Stewing over the murder with tensions simmering and no shortage of suspects, the supper club members will confront saucy chefs, heavy smokers, and a boisterous brisket king. And in a final showdown, a cold-blooded killer with his eye on the gravy train will force James and his friends into a rare display of courage, because Hog Fest is serious business and innocent lives are at stake . . .

Includes mouthwatering recipes!

This is a brand-new, fully revised edition of a book originally published under the name J. B. Stanley.
