"In Seattle's Pike Place Market, Spice Shop owner Pepper Reece is savoring her business success as she conjures up spice blends bursting with seasonal flavor. Add to that a welcome visit from her mother, Lena, and she's got the perfect recipe for a busy summer garnished with a dash of fun. While browsing in the artists' stalls, Pepper and Lena drool over stunning pottery made by a market newcomer -- until Lena recognizes the potter, Bonnie Clay, as an old friend who disappeared years ago. Then, only days later, Bonnie is murdered."-- Provided by publisher.
