Best Books).
This is the third book in theRosalie Hart Mystery Series,
Rosalie's hard-earned organic farm certification is threatened by a toxic neighbor who is
about to crop dust his winter wheat. When their impulsive farm hand decides to confront
him, she finds his lifeless body inside the door of his home on Windswept Farm.
In the midst of the mayhem, Rosalie's beloved Day Lily Café hosts a 5-day cooking
school. Marco Giovanelli, a celebrated Italian chef, arrives in Cardigan and a sumptuous
situation ensues. When one of the students falls ill with the same poison that killed the
farmer, Rosalie and her best friend and head waiter, Glenn, take matters, and
homemade pasta dough, into their own hands.
