Another winner in this series. I read them as soon as I recieve them. And if you like them, you must read her other Grace and Favor mysteries too!
Death at the writing classes' potluck supper. Jane Jeffrys to the rescue. I liked the book. The person who signed the inside cover critiqued it as "so-so."
I love this series, but this book wasn't my favorite. It started out kind of slow, but did manage to pick up eventually.
A nice, light, witty mystery.

With the kids packed off on their summer road trips, it's an ideal time for Jane Jeffry to pursue other interests, so the harried suburban mom enrolls in a writing course at the community college. But when an obnoxious aged classmate keels over dead after sampling a tasty treat from a pot luck student buffet, Jane realizes there's a culinary killer among the local would-be literati.
The pen may be mightier than the sword. . .but poison beats them both. And before the both. And before the demise of a very disagreeable old biddy can be written off, amateur sleuth Jane intends to find out who's responsible -- and cook the culprit's goose in his or her own creative juices.
