A Dilly Of A Death
Susan Wittig Albert
First Time in Paperback
China Bayles is in a pickle. The daughter of her best
friend, Ruby, has turned up on her doorstep, pregnant and in
need of a place to live. And her otherwise sensible husband
has announced that he's bored with teaching and ready for a
career change. Say "hello" to P.I. Mike McQuaid and
Associates. There aren't actually any
"associates"—unless you count Ruby and China, of
course. But the title does have a nice, official ring to it.
His first client is Phoebe the Pickle Queen, owner of the
biggest little pickle business in Texas. According to
Phoebe, her plant manager is embezzling, and she wants
McQuaid to follow the money. Meanwhile, Pecan Springs is
hosting the annual Picklefest—and this year, China and
Ruby are on the planning committee, along with Phoebe. But
just days before the festival starts, the Pickle Queen
disappears. Some say she sold her business and split; others
think the answer may lie with her missing boyfriend. It's up
to McQuaid and China to search for the Pickle Queen—and
for clues in a case that promises to leave a very sour taste.
