Specifically, he wants to size up the world-renowned lupines of Frances Rondel, a nonagenarian whose legendary flowers are even more beautiful in life than they are in myth. Shandy is bitterly jealous, but finds a major distraction in the dining room of the country inn where he’s staying. He may grow wretched lupines, but no gardener can solve a murder like Peter Shandy. The corpse belongs to the late Jasper Flodge, a local loudmouth with a toupee and a sizeable gut. Shoveling down the last bites of a chicken potpie, Flodge clutches his chest and falls dead. Suddenly with more to do than stopping to smell the lupines, Shandy must ask himself: Which Maine cook has the bad taste to flavor chicken with cyanide?","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140838703344,"sku":"9781453277478","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453277478_p0.jpg?v=1769907186","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453277478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
