Jiffy Corn Conspiracy (Casserole Confessions Book 9)
By Kelli Fudge
The sweetest corn hides the sourest secrets.
When a city-councilman keels over after tasting a corn casserole at Chesterfield’s annual Corn Jubilee, small-town sleuth and casserole confidante Nessie Stewart finds herself back in the hot seat. The locals blame tainted Jiffy mix, but Nessie suspects something far stickier—a black-market cornmeal scheme cooked up by people who’d rather trade recipes than confessions.
From counterfeit casserole boxes and missing pantry funds to a mayor who’s buttering both sides of the bread, every scoop of evidence points toward a conspiracy baked right into Chesterfield’s comfort food. With Detective March juggling politics, secrets, and pudding-cup bribes, Nessie must sift through lies before the whole town crumbles like over-baked cornbread.
Warm, witty, and wonderfully wry, Jiffy Corn Conspiracyserves up humor, heart, and a side of small-town scandal. Perfect for fans of cozy culinary mysteries, clever women sleuths, and recipes that reveal more than they hide.
