Ministers wife, sometime sleuth, and culinary artist Faith Sibley Fairchild is intrigued by rumors of mysterious doings at Hubbard House - an elegant, secluded retirement home for the well-heeled Yankees of Aleford, Massachusetts. Determined to do some surreptitious snooping, she joins the pricey retreats flu-depleted kitchen staff, only to witness an aging resident collapse face-first into a bowl of Faiths hot and savory boillon. But it isnt until a blackmailing drug dealer turns up dead in Faiths bedroom that the amateur investigator realizes that murder not only happens at Hubbard, its the specialty of the house! And Faiths own demise might very well be the next item on the menu.,
