Fried by Jury — Claudia Bishop

Hemlock Falls is a pretty little town in upstate New York. Sarah Quilliam, with her talent for business, runs the Inn at Hemlock Falls. Her sister, Meg, keeps the patrons happy with her culinary abilities. But when it comes to murder, the Quilliam sisters have to rely on other skills--spotting clues, solving crimes, catching culprits...

Meg Quilliam would rather eat a rat than judge a deep fat frying contest. Even if it is to honor the opening of the town's first Holcomb's Wholesome Fried Chicken. No means no. But when celebrity chef Banion O'Haggerty offers to do it--for a pretty penny--and decides to stay at Quill and Meg's Inn, it's the start of even more turmoil. First, before the new franchise even opens, Mr. Holcomb already has competition: his most hated rival, Colonel Cluck, is setting up shop here too. Then, a butcher knife is missing from the Inn's kitchen--and so is Banion! Once again, the Quilliam sisters have a murder case on their hands. And it's anyone's guess who will ruffle this killer's feathers next...
