COOK UP A CRIME

Calamity Jane Edwards just can't keep her finger out of murder and this time stirs up a poisonous concoction of gossip, curiosity, family hates and suspicions, and provides the harrassed police with plenty of false clues before she smells out an old scandal, a cause for murder, some matters of dispossession and inheritance, and some feminine sleuthing in search of family cookbooks. Second rate.
