But when her life fell apart at forty and she bought the venerable-but-rundown Spice Shop in Seattle's Pike Place Market, her days took a tasty turn. Now she's savouring the prospect of a flavourful fall and a busy holiday cooking season, until danger bubbles to the surface... Between managing her shop, worrying about her staff, and navigating a delicious new relationship, Pepper's firing on all burners. But when her childhood friend Maddie is shot and gravely wounded, the incident is quickly tied to an unsolved murder that left another close friend a widow. Convinced that the secret to both crimes lies in the history of a once-beloved building, Pepper uses her local-girl contacts and her talent for asking questions to unearth startling links between the past and present - links that suggest her childhood friend may not have been the Golden Girl she appeared to be. Pepper is forced to face her own regrets and unsavory emotions, if she wants to save Maddie's life - and her own.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49763801628945,"sku":"CIN1645060179G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697932964113,"sku":"NGR9781645060178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50957290471697,"sku":"CIN1645060179VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536318722321,"sku":"NLS9781645060178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752943579409,"sku":"NIN9781645060178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1645060179.jpg?v=1750927917"},{"product_id":"rosemary-and-crime-book-gail-oust-9781250011046","title":"Rosemary and Crime","description":"\u003cp\u003eMurder comes well-seasoned in this charming mystery featuring a smart and spunky new amateur sleuth, small-town Georgia spice shop owner Piper Prescott. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiper Prescott, a transplanted Yankee living in the South, has got her sass back.

So what could be more fun than a food walk in the city's Chinatown International District, celebrating the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rabbit? But when her friend Roxanne stumbles across a man's body in the Gold Rush, a long-closed residential hotel, questions leap out. Who was he? What was he doing in the dust-encrusted herbal pharmacy in the hotel's twisty-turny basement? Why was the pharmacy boarded up - and why are the owners so reluctant to talk? With the discovery of a box of letters written in Chinese - a box that later goes missing - Pepper and her friends find themselves asking new questions and facing more brick walls. Then questions arise about Roxanne herself, and her relationship to Pepper's boyfriend Nate, away fishing in Alaska. Between worrying about Nate, Roxanne, and her parents' pending departure, while struggling to hire new staff at the Spice Shop, Pepper has her hands and her heart full. Still, she can't resist the lure of the Gold Rush and its tangled history of secrets and lies stretching back nearly a hundred years. But the killer is on her tail, driven by hidden demons and desires. As Pepper begins to expose the long-concealed truth, a bigger question emerges: Can she uncover the secrets of the Gold Rush Hotel without being pushed from the wok into the fire?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49856215941393,"sku":"CIN1645060616G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49950454382865,"sku":"CIN1645060616A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50922225565969,"sku":"CIN1645060616VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51044076716305,"sku":"NIN9781645060611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53390265614609,"sku":"GOR014894465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1645060616.jpg?v=1750764343"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/spice-shop-mystery-ser-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
