Death, Guns and Sticky Buns » (Reissue)

Valerie S. Malmont is also the author of two previous Tori Miracle mysteries: Death, Lies, and Apple Pies and Death Pays the Rose Rent. She lives in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

When a quaint Pennsylvania town hosts a Civil War reenactment, only the blood will be real....

Someone used one live bullet in an antique gun. And with a man dead, it's going to be up to the only city slicker in Lickin Creek to unravel a mystery of murder in a town where calories don't count, but murder does....
