Bordeaux Butcher

Book excerpt: 'Primal Cuts' aren't all that's Hooked and Hanging at Bussard's Meats in Veil Falls. Fledgling Vine Witch Verity Blume has agreed to provide the guests at the upcoming Matching the Wine Festival with a 'foodie experience' they won't soon forget. Everybody loves a Pig Roast, right? If only she can just bring herself to sentence 'The Right Pig' to be Saturday's dinner. And get the neighboring farmers to stop fighting long enough to fill the order. But Wining and Dining the guests isn't all that's in store for its citizens. And Verity is serving up more than just an attention grabber. It's shaping up to look a lot like murder. With too many suspects and not nearly enough clues...even the ghost is looking for answers. It will be up to Verity and her crime-solving kitten, Lois, to puzzle out the truth and find the culprit before the innocent are found guilty and her favorite butcher shop goes belly-up and dead-business down. Because someone else is watching. And a pair of Feuding Farmers isn't the only thing this sleuthing duo should be worried about...
