Health inspector Poppy Markham suspects murder when a popular chef buys the (organic) farm.
Feast in the Field is the event of the season for Austin foodies. A fine-dining affair hosted by the Friends of the Farm, itâs Poppy Markhamâs favorite opportunity to drink boutique wine and get the latest scuttlebutt from her pals in the restaurant business. But this yearâs hottest dish of gourmet gossip wonât be whispered over a plate of cucumber cruditÊs. Instead, it will be the announcement of the organizationâs new president-elect. The competition between the candidates has been hotter than horseradish, and when the winnerâuptight restaurateur Dana Whiteâis struck down in her own kitchen, itâs up to Poppy to figure out who took her off the menu.Â
