Josi S. Kilpack is a widely-loved and prolific author of culinary mysteries. She first introduced the world to Sadie Hoffmiller, a cooking aficionado turned amateur detective, in Lemon Tart, and she has since captivated audiences and inspired edible masterpieces with recipes . . . er, novels like Devil's Food Cake, Blackberry Crumble, and, most recently, Pumpkin Roll.
Seven books into the series, Josi is now facing a mystery of her own – what should be the title recipe for her next book? Set amid the world-famous hot air balloon festival, Balloon Fiesta, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Book Eight is sure to have all the thrills, chills, and quirky grins of the other books in the series. What it doesn’t have, is a name.
