โThis whodunit provides fully satisfying fare for a cold winterโs night around the fireโโfrom the Agatha Award-winning author of The Body in the Moonlight (Publishers Weekly).
Caterer and small-town ministerโs wife Faith Fairchild might never have accepted the job teaching a course on Cooking for Idiots at Mansfield Academy had it not been for Daryl Martin. An African-American student at the prestigious prep school, Daryl has lately become the target of a series of vicious and anonymous racial attacksโand Faith is determined to put an end to the injustice. But Mansfield, she finds, is a seething cauldron of secrets, academic in-fighting, and unspoken rules that complicate her task. When someone tampers with her classroom cooking ingredientsโand then the remains of her prime suspect are discovered smoldering in a campus bonfireโshe realizes that a monstrous evil is stalking both Daryl and the school. And suddenly Faithโs own life is in serious jeopardy as well!
