About this ebook

Kate Jasper, Marin County, California’s own organically grown amateur sleuth, returns in this fourth mystery in the series.

Kate and her new sweetie have finally moved in together in Fat-Free and Fatal. But her sweetie’s venomous mother has moved in, too, and she is working hard at destroying the relationship. Kate signs up for a vegetarian cooking class to get out of the house and out from under the prongs of her almost mother‑in‑law’s tongue. Only it is a case of out‑of‑the‑frying‑pan‑into‑the‑fire when the owner of the class’s venue, the Good Thyme Cafe, is found dead . . . strangled by the electric cord of a SaladShooter. The police suspect Kate’s best friend, Barbara. Kate sleuths, fearing that otherwise, her friend’s fowl‑free goose may be cooked.

Author

Jaqueline Girdner

Jaqueline “Jaki” Girdner is a lifelong reader from a family of readers and writers. While working her way through world literature, children’s literature, science fiction, and other genres, she earned a degree in psychology, practiced tai chi, and eventually became a lawyer. While in law school, she read her way through Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, and John Dickson Carr. For a short time, she worked for a criminal law firm, then set up shop on her own as a family law attorney and eventually started a greeting card company called Jest Cards, which didn’t make her much money but finally led her to create Kate Jasper, who owned a gag gift company called Jest Gifts and practiced tai chi. Kate Jasper stumbled over dead bodies, and Jaki sold her first mystery novel. And then eleven more. She has also written, as Claire Daniels, about Cally Lazar, a recovering attorney who does “cane‑fu” and has an energetic healing practice.
