Product Description
When murder strikes at a bread-making convention, Heaven Lee must rise to the occasion...
Having overcome a series of failed careers, sassy sometime-sleuth Heaven Lee has found her own slice of paradise as a pre-eminent Kansas City chef. When the ARTOS (Greek for bread) convention comes to town, Heaven looks forward to nothing more than gathering some bread-making tips, but things start to heat up when one of her colleagues falls to his death from a grain elevator and another is found murdered in a pan of bread dough. Add to this recipe the startling fact that someone has tainted some of the convention's dough, causing its eaters to go temporarily insane, and Heaven's got more on her plate than most cooks can handle...

Murder in the wheat fields of Kansas
8 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
Another great example of the writing by Lou Jane Temple. Heaven Lee is cooking again -- this time she is making bread, not bbq. The Kansas City restaurant owner is involved with the ARTOS (bread) convention come to town. Little did she know that death would be served up along with the breadsticks.
Another great Heaven Lee mystery. Wonderful recipies are also included in the book. Temple's previous book introduced you to the main characters contained in this recent release, however, the book is written well enough to stand on its own without reading the previous 4 works from this author.
In the style of Diane Mott Davidson and Tamara Meyers -- a great culinary read.

Reading Lou Jane Temple is like going home again
4 April 2000
Format:Paperback
If you have ever spent any time around 39th Street in mid-town Kansas City then reading this clever mystery is like a trip home. If you haven't spent any real time in Kansas City, then reading this book is like an exciting first visit with a delightful mystery and a lovable group of recurring characters thrown in. Either way you can't miss! Lou Jane Temple has a charming, if offbeat, style of creating an "unusual" and yet credible cast. I look forward to each book as it arrives. The recipes are wonderful.

Very nice
29 Dec 1998
Format:Hardcover
Lou Jane Temple is an excellent entrant to the world of culinary mysteries. The fact that Kansas City and the Flint Hills are her (their) stomping grounds just makes these myteries even more enjoyable. Keep them coming.
The recipes are excellent as well.
