BOOKS FOR MOTHER

Mother happened on a book that was being written by Virgina Rich when she died and finsihed by Nancy Pickard - "The 27 Secret Ingredients . . ." Virgina Rich was the first author to incorpororate recipes in mystery books and died in the 80's. In those days before the Internet, Nancy Pickard had been reading the series and did not know of Rich's death. She wrote a letter inquiring about more books, and a member of Rich's family answered and it eventually worked out that Pickard finished that Rich was working on at the time of her death. Pickard has then continued the character of Eugenie Potter in further mysteries.

So now, Mother is interested in getting the books that were written by Rich before her death . . . and I am searching on the Internet: The Nantucket Diet Murders, The Cooking School Murders and a couple of others.

Mother became interested in these books when she started reading books by Diane Mott Davidson who does the Goldy Bear Culinary Mysteries. My husband and son got me one of the books in this series because the picture on the cover reminded them of me:
