Poison at the Bake Sale

Abe Investigates, #2

Abe has an awful premonition that something will go wrong during a local baking contest.  Of course it's his silly imagination; he's just jumpy these days, after that murder last year.  But when the day of the competition means running into his abusive ex, who later turns up dead, Abe wishes that he'd paid more attention to his anxieties, not less.

Now it's up to Abe and Gregory to figure out who could have done in the awful man.  Because the authorities are looking awfully close to home, and there's only so much strain that even the best relationship can take.
