Piper Lamb knows how to make fruits and vegetables keep for months. Unfortunately, it's the people around her who are expiring too soon...
After her fiancé left her, Piper came to Cloverdale to rebuild her life and open up her shop, Piper's Picklings, to sell pickles and preserves. When her ex decides to drop in for a visit—just as things are heating up between her and a local Christmas tree farmer—Piper finds herself in a jam.
But there are other visitors to worry about...
An Italian soccer team is set to play the Cloverdale All-Stars in an exhibition game. Their manager, Raffaele Conti, was a bitter rival of Piper's dill supplier, local farmer Gerald Standley. After Conti is found dead in Standley's field, Piper must work to clear Gerald's name and find out who relished killing Raffaele before the town is soured by another death.

Six months ago, Piper Lamb quit the city and her former boyfriend to open her pickle and preserve shop, Piper's Picklings, in Cloverdale. Just as things seem to be going well for Piper and her local Christmas tree farmer, Will Burchett, her ex comes to town, and that is just the start of her problems. When an Italian soccer team arrives to play an exhibition game, the rivalry between the team's manager, Raffaele Conti, and Piper's dill supplier, Gerald Standley, comes to light. Things turn sour when Conti's body is recovered in Standley's field, and Piper must prove Standley's innocence before someone else ends up dead. VERDICT Hughes's second series entry (after The Pickled Piper) will delight fans of culinary cozies. While the small-town scenario breaks no boundaries, fans of Susan Wittig Albert's "China Bayles" series should enjoy this plucky heroine.
