Vejay investigates the poisoning death of one of the townâs most powerful citizens during its oddest annual event Though it sounds violent, Hendersonâs annual slugfest is less vicious than it is slimy. The regional festival honors the normally detested California banana slug with competitions to prove which slug is the biggest, fastest, orâin the event that gives the festival its notorietyâthe tastiest. Rather than eat crow, the areaâs local politicians atone for their sins by eating slug hot dogs, slug chili, and slug pie. This year, one dish will prove murderously foul. Â Edwina Henderson is the last of her family to live in the town that bears their name. A committed environmentalist, she is also the woman responsible for this yearâs slugfest, and will take her place at the judgeâs table. When a slug-pizza knocks her flat, the crowd assumes it was just an especially gross slice. But when she doesnât get up, meter-reader Vejay Haskell must confront the devious murder of the townâs leading treehugger. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Susan Dunlap including rare images from the authorâs personal collection. The Last Annual Slugfest is the 3rd book in the Vejay Haskell Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. |
