A lighthearted and delicious suburban cozy mystery where friendship, food, and foul play make for one irresistible recipe.
When suburban sleuth Jane Jeffry and her best friend Shelley head off to a weekend cooking seminar at a rustic summer camp, they expect relaxation — not a recipe for murder. Between the bad coffee, gourmet disasters, and a cranky camp director, things quickly heat up. But when one of the participants meets a fatal end, Jane and Shelley are back on the case, proving that even a quiet getaway can turn deadly in the funniest of ways.
 
In Fear of Frying, Jill Churchill whips up another delightful mystery starring her beloved amateur sleuths, Jane and Shelley. What begins as a girls’ weekend away becomes a tangled whodunit when a fellow camper dies under suspicious circumstances. Surrounded by suspects with motives as varied as the menu, Jane must sort through gossip, grudges, and gourmet mishaps to uncover the truth.
 
Brimming with humor, friendship, and small-town charm, Fear of Frying showcases Churchill’s signature blend of domestic wit and smart, cozy suspense. Whether she’s serving up family drama, community chaos, or a side of murder with her morning coffee, Jane Jeffry proves that crime-solving can be as comforting as a home-cooked meal.
