Fatal Oktoberfest

A charming German festival. A world-class pretzel. A body under the beer tent.

In New Ulm, Minnesota - the most German little town in America - Liesel Pfeiffer just wants to get her bakery through Oktoberfest without running out of pretzels. Instead she finds a corpse among the beer steins, a sheriff who'd rather call it an accident, and a handsome deputy who keeps telling her to stay out of it.

But Liesel's grandmother Oma and her fearsome coffee circle - the Kaffeeklatsch - have never met a mystery they couldn't gossip their way to the bottom of. And Liesel's baker's eye has already caught the one small thing everyone else walked right past.

Between the oompah bands and the streusel, someone got away with murder. Not for long.

• A cozy small-town whodunit with a warm, funny amateur-sleuth heroine
• A scene-stealing grandmother and her unstoppable klatch of septuagenarian sleuths
• A slow-burn romance with a guarded small-town deputy
• Fair-play clues, genuine red herrings, and a killer you won't see coming
• Cozy and closed-door - the danger is in the plot, not on the page
