In this cozy historical mystery, an impoverished widow and a surly constable work together to figure out what happened to the dead man in the tavern privy. With Penelope Corbitt in the kitchen, the tavern will never be the same. "Plucky young widow Penelope Corbitt must solve a murder, help the town's innkeeper/constable bring order to his shambles of a crossroads tavern, and dodge a life of grim servitude under the rule of her arrogant brother-in-law. She navigates racial, social, and cultural barriers in tackling these challenges, and the reader is carried along on her earnest quest. Author Karsten, known for meticulous research, avoids burdening the crisp narrative with irrelevant historical details, but the ones she includes are dead accurate. Readers who delight in well-written historical fiction will feel they have really stepped into colonial America. This book is a great read, from Chapter One to the end." -Larry F. Sommers, best-selling author of The Price of Passage and Izzy Strikes Gold! Paperback, 272 pages Includes several 18th century tavern food recipes
