"Halloween has come creeping into tiny Aleford, Massachusetts and Faith Fairchild has her plate full when a Murder Mystery benefit dinner is marred by real murder. Minister's wife Faith Fairchild is excited about catering her church's restoration campaign kickoff at historic Ballou House. But when a beautiful young woman dies moments after finishing dessert, Faith is suddenly in serious trouble. Not only is her business in jeopardy - but Aleford's wagging tongues are suggesting that Faith herself laced the goodie with cyanide, having discovered her husband Tom's perhaps overly pastoral interest in the victim. Faith's world feels steeped in poison and never before have her amateur sleuthing skills been more crucial - especially when another body is found in the moonlight carrying an unmistakeable warning: you're next."--Publisher.
