In Crawford’s diverting 10th mystery featuring catering sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons (after 2013’s A Catered Christmas Cookie Exchange), the big draw of the Fourth of July extravaganza in Longely, N.Y., is a reenactment of a Revolutionary War battle with authentic uniforms and equipment. The replica muskets are, of course, not functional—with the exception of one prepared especially for use by womanizer Jack Devlin. When the musket explodes on firing and kills Devlin, attention focuses on Libby’s beau, Marvin, who was in charge of providing the weapons, despite there being no dearth of more likely suspects. The police won’t look elsewhere even after someone shoots at Marvin’s car, so Bernie decides she and Libby must find the real killer before Marvin ends up in prison. Scorned women, jealous husbands, Wiccans, and Hilda the pet pig add to the cozy fun. Agent: Evan Marshall, Evan Marshall Agency.

Sisters and owners of A Little Taste of Heaven, Bernie and Libby are catering the reenactment of the Revolutionary War Battle of Meadow Creek on July Fourth in Longely, New York, when Jack Devlin's musket blows up in his face, killing him. When it looks like Libby's boyfriend, Marvin, who was in charge of the costumes and props, will soon be arrested for murder, the sisters, along with their father, the former Longely police chief, and Bernie's boyfriend, Brandon, set out to clear him. Since Devlin was a philanderer, there are multiple suspects, ranging from angry husbands to scorned women. Framed with scenes of food preparation and sales, and supported by the richly portrayed relationship between the sisters and their widowed father, this satisfying cozy will appeal to fans of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries and Chris Cavender's Pizza Lovers series. The book concludes with a selection of recipes.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
