Title: The curious case of the missing figurehead
Description: El Littllefield runs The Butler Did It catering. It's the perfect cover for her to solve "who-done-its" (nothing too dangerous, please!) in this small university town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. While catering her most important event yet--a fancy retirement dinner for Dr. Max Haverhill, life-long bachelor and history dean--countless guests fall ill, a 200 year-old relic is stolen, and her best friend vanishes. All in the first hour. As El and Max race to solve the mystery, they discover there's more to their relationship than simply solving the case.
