The Pumpkin Muffin Murder
by Livia J. Washburn

The fifth in a delectable series fans can’t wait to sink their teeth into. Includes fifteen recipes!

Phyllis loves to spend quality time with her grandson. She’ll be taking him to a festival with hopes of winning the baking contest—now that her friendly competitor, Carolyn, is judging and not competing. But when a decorative scarecrow is actually a dead body in disguise, it's Phyllis’s sleuthing skills that are needed.

The dead body is that of the festival’s organizer—and his wife, Carolyn’s friend, falls under suspicion. Carolyn turns to Phyllis for help, because who’s better at dishing out some justice than a baker extraordinaire who can handle the heat...



Livia J. Washburn's Bio

Under the names Livia J. Washburn and L.J. Washburn, Livia Reasoner has been writing award-winning, critically acclaimed mystery, western, romance, and historical novels for almost thirty years. She began to write in collaboration with her husband, author James Reasoner, and soon branched out into telling her own stories.

In addition to writing, Livia enjoys photography, arts, crafts, and cooking, but she also loves having a pile of lumber, a circular saw, and a building project. An accomplished carpenter, she has framed houses and built more sets of bookshelves than she can remember, some of which have been filled with the books she’s written. A good day for her includes having time to create something new in the kitchen, on a story, and in the garage.

Livia lives in the Texas countryside with her husband, and her dogs. She blogs when she can find the time at http://liviajwashburn.blogspot.com.
