Best-selling author Nancy Bell adds to a delightful Lone Star series that began with a People Pick of the Week. A victim of foul play, Firman Birdsong spends the Grand Opening of the Birdsong brothers' chicken restaurant dead under a table-with his gravy-covered, parsley-garnished body and his tomato-stuffed mouth. Biggie and her 10-year-old grandson JR investigate the murder. But as the suspect list swells, JR believes Biggie cares more about detecting than protecting him from a brewing custody battle-and the investigation takes an awful turn.

"Fun little yarn (book group assignment was gumshoe grannies) about Biggie from the viewpoint of her grandson, JR. My favorite part was the language. "Papa could see evil in the crotch of a tree" and "it was cold as a frosted frog inside"."
