Book Description:
Vegetables can be hazardous to your health!
Old Agatha Treadway baked her own bread, canned her own vegetables, and died of botulism in her very own kitchen. Accident, says Dr. Druffitt. Murder says neighbor Janet Wadman. And says it again when she finds the doctor dead, too. Detective Inspector Madoc Rhys, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, agrees.
But who's the killer . . . the town miser, who wants the one thing only Mrs. Treadway could have given him? The miser's son who's panting for the doctor's daughter? Widow Druffitt, who's holding secret meetings with unlikely people? The hired girl who listens at keyholes? The hired man who hides in haylofts? It's an awful mess, and when Rhys gets it sorted out, he faces an even tougher problem of his own.
Charlotte McLeod writing as Alisa Craig

Carol K. (Charlotte MacLeod AKA Alisa Craig wrote funny cozy mysteries with quirky characters. The Setting for the Royal Mountie Detective Inspector Madoc Rhys mysteries is Canada. This is the first book in the series when Rhys goes undercover posing as a relative of Janet Wadman to solve the murder of her elderly neighbor by home canned green beans gone very bad. Janet is getting over a broken romance and appendicitis and staying on her brother's farm to recover from both. Madoc is the unassuming celebrated mountie who captured the most dangerous criminal in Canadian history. Both the romance and the mystery are good reads.
Vegetables Can Be Hazardous To Your Health. Or so it would seem in this comic Alisa Craig (Charlotte MacCloud) mystery, part of the series set in her native Canada. If you like comic myteries and don't know Alisa Craig, now's the time to meet her!
Long time since I read this one, but Charlotte MacLeod (writing as Alisa Craig here), is always amusing and a fun mystery read.
