More About This Book

Overview

When the supper club members are invited to be guest judges at a regional barbecue contest, they accept the invitation faster than you can say "hog heaven." But the barbecue festival's family-oriented, finger-licking fun turns sour when a contestant is found dead. Things go from bad to worse when one of the five friends is accused of the murder and lands in jail. The strained relationship between James and Lucy is still no picnic, but the supper club members must stick together to find the real killer.

Includes authentic barbecue-friendly recipes!

Praise for the Supper Club Mystery Series
"Heavy on fun, light on gore, this savory mystery comes complete with yummy recipes." —Publishers Weekly

"Well plotted ...with a wonderful setting and cast of characters." —MysteryReader.com

"Stanley offers another entry in the popular Supper Club Mystery series, and her fans now have a new volume to relish." —Booklist

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
Five food-loving friends accept an offer to serve as judges at a barbecue contest where murder is a side dish. Despite their differences, members of the Supper Club have had some success as amateur sleuths (Chili con Corpses, 2008, etc.). But they don't expect to need those skills at the annual Hudsonville Hog Festival, where they've been tapped to judge the Queen Sow Contest. The friends arrive at a delightful inn, where the hostess is a great cook and her daughter a great beauty, only to be confronted by the obnoxious Jimmy Lang, an ex-con contestant with a profitable sideline and a secret to success. When Jimmy's found dead by propane poisoning in his trailer, Supper Club member Gillian is suspect No. 1. Gillian is an aging, animal-loving hippie whose peaceful attitude to life was blasted when she confronted Jimmy and accused him of murdering her husband, a man her friends never knew existed. Ever since his current squeeze, reporter Murphy Alistair, has cooled off, librarian James Henry has enjoyed spending time with his former girlfriend, sheriff's deputy Lucy Hanover. Now Murphy's appearance in town to write about the crime brings the pot to a boil. The friends do everything they can to find the real killer of Lang, whose enemies included his competition and his girlfriend. The fourth in Stanley's food-loving series is no great mystery, but foodies will love the recipes and fans the new adventures of the five friends.

    BBQ & Murder

    The Flab Five: James, Lucy, Bennet, Lindy, and Gillian, have been invited to be judges at a regional barbeque contest. They all jump at the chance and are soon on their way to a neighboring locale.

    Before long, one of the contestant's is found dead. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Gillian had a past with the murder victim and is soon in jail as the prime suspect. The other four friends band together to discover the identity of the real killer.

    Murphy, the reporter from their town and James' girlfriend, comes to town to cover the story. This puts a lot of strain on their relationship. Will it survive?

    The four friends discover they didn't know their friend Gillian as well as they thought they did. Could she be the killer? There are quite a few people who aren't sad to see the murder victim dead. Which one is the killer?

    Plus what's going on at the library where James works? Can he help solve this mystery as well?

    I love this series and always devour each book. This was no exception. The only thing I hate is that I read them so fast and have to wait so long for the next book.

    I really like The Flab Five. They've become such a great group of friends. But as is often true, everyone has a past they haven't revealed. I like how this was handled in this book. And how the various friends reacted. It felt very real.

    There are lots of wonderful recipes in the book, too. I hope to try some one day. I highly recommend this book and the complete series.
