Sieve and Let Die

Vintage Kitchen Mystery, Book 11

By: Victoria Hamilton

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

In the new Vintage Kitchen Mystery from the author of A Calculated Whisk, Jaymie's not sure who to believe when every suspect's alibi has as many holes as a sieve . . .

Vintage cookware collector Jaymie Müller is stunned when an irate woman accuses her pharmacist friend Val of tampering with her prescription. When more unfounded accusations follow, it seems clear the woman has a personal grudge against Val. But before they can figure out why, Jaymie and Val stumble upon the woman's dead body on the steps of Val's pharmacy. Given her altercations with the woman and the location of the body, the police naturally suspect Val.

Jaymie has heard rumors that the victim had become forgetful and erratic, but could that explain her death? And why was Val being framed as her murderer? Determined to find the clues that connect the woman's strange behavior to her death, Jaymie begins questioning the people in her life-and soon suspects that the culprit is among them. But she'll have to be careful about who she confronts, because while solving murders is hard work, there's a killer on the loose who finds committing them all too easy . . .
