The Curse of the Holy Pail (The Odelia Grey Mysteries, 2)
Description:
Is the "Holy Pail" cursed? Every owner of the vintage Chappy Wheeler lunchbox―a prototype based on the 1940s TV western―has died. And now Sterling Price, business tycoon and a client of Odelia Grey's law firm, has been fatally poisoned. Is it a coincidence that Price's one-of-a-kind lunch pail―worth over thirty grand―has disappeared at the same time?
Treading cautiously since a recent run-in with a bullet, Odelia takes small bites of this juicy, calorie-free mystery―and is soon ravenous for more! Her research reveals a sixty-year-old unsolved murder and Price's gold-digging ex-fiancée with two married men wrapped around her breasts...uh, finger. Mix in a surprise marriage proposal that sends an uncertain Odelia into chocolate sedation, and you've got an unruly recipe for delicious disaster.
