The Body in the Boudoir by Katherine Hall Page, 255 pages

This prequel shows how Faith Sibley, a single caterer living in New York City, met her husband, Reverend Thomas Fairchild. Faith, as the daughter and granddaughter of clergymen, had sworn that she would never marry a clergymen, but the heart knows no limits. Her and Tom fall deeply and quickly in love, with an engagement soon following. Faith plans their wedding, with the ceremony to happen at her beloved Uncle Sky's Long Island mansion. But mysteries abound, threatening not only the wedding, but also Faith's life. Can she solve all of these before she becomes the dearly departed instead of the blushing bride?
I've read all the Faith Fairchild mysteries, so I particularly enjoyed getting to see how it all started. Katherine Hall Page always creates a story that not only intrigues but also entertains, with compelling storylines and characters that are refreshing. The mix of mystery and food is mixed perfectly, with the meals and cooking complementing the plot perfectly. These books are always wonderfully readable and "The Body in the Boudoir" proves to be no different.
