Description for DEAD IN THE MELON PATCH by Connie Feddersen: SHE'S GOT LAS VEGAS LEGS, BUT SHE'S HAD IT WITH LIFE IN THE FAST LANE. SHE'S AMANDA HAZARD--SAVVY CPA AND AMATEUR SLEUTH--AND SHE'S ABOUT TO TAKE THE PRIZE FOR CORNERING A KILLER IN THE OKLAHOMA BOONDOCKS! Amanda knows she can fake the heat. Now she's in the kitchen, canning for the County Fair, and planning to make sexy cop Nick Thorn eat his words when he sees her walk off with the Blue Ribbon. But when she delivers her entry to the MacAdo farm and trips over a corpse in the melon patch, Amanda's culinary skills are suddenly put on the back burner. RECIPE FOR MURDER Convinced that Sheila MacAdo's fatal fall from a ladder was no accident, Amanda concocts her own recipe...for trouble. Sheila's three angry ex-husbands plus a passel of local tomcats with sleazy secrets add up to more suspects than Amanda can shake a rake at. Weeding them out will stir up a hornet's nest of trouble...in a pickle of a puzzle that's about to, blow the roof off Vamoose and send Amanda scouring the crowded fairgrounds for a cunning killer. This is #3 in An Amanda Hazard Mystery.
