He Had It Comin’, Sugar

The town’s Rib King collapsed face-first into his championship brisket—and by the time the smoke cleared, everyone at the barbecue knew one thing: somebody had seasoned the sauce with murder.

When Big Jimmy Dawes—Magnolia Bluff’s larger-than-life barbecue legend—drops dead during the town’s biggest cook-off of the year, the sheriff calls it a heart attack but the Books & Biscuits Club sense this cook-off just turned into a whodunit.

June, Lula Belle, Dottie, and Sissy start poking around faster than folks lining up for free ribs. And it doesn’t take long to uncover a messy platter of grudges, stolen recipes, bitter rivalries, and secrets that have been simmering in Magnolia Bluff for years.

He Had It Comin’, Sugar is a deliciously fun Southern culinary cozy mystery perfect for fans of Murder, She Wrote, Joanne Fluke, and Sweet Magnolias—because in Magnolia Bluff, justice is always served hot… and sometimes with a side of barbecue.
