Add to the mix a welcome visit from her mother, Lena, and she's got the perfect recipe for a busy summer garnished with a dash of fun. <p/> While browsing in the artists' stalls, Pepper and Lena drool over stunning pottery made by a Market newcomer. But when Lena recognizes the potter, Bonnie Clay, as an old friend who disappeared years ago, the afternoon turns sour. To Pepper's surprise, Bonnie seems intimately connected to her family's past. After Bonnie is murdered only days later, Pepper is determined to uncover the truth. But as Pepper roots out long-buried secrets, will she be digging her own grave?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the national bestselling Spice Shop Mysteries</b><br> <b> </b><br> "A dash of humor and a half-turn of charm that will leave readers smiling."--J.J.
