Death, Lies and Apple Pies (Tori Miracle Mysteries, No. 2)
Struggling but spunky New York author Tori Miracle returns to Lickin Creek, Pennsylvania (see Death Pays the Rose Rent, LJ 7/94), to visit her long-distance boyfriend, hunky local police chief Garnet. Their plans to vacation together are interrupted when someone kills a man who promised to sell acreage to a controversial proposed nuclear waste facility. Tori investigates but only after agreeing to speak to the literary society, act as "celebrity" judge for recipe entries in the local apple festival, and consider becoming temporary editor of the newspaper. Likable, eccentric characters, frothy hullabaloo, and humorous situations.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
