Slow Cooker Beef Clue
(2025)(The second book in the Maine Widow Detective Mystery series)
A novel by Lucy Lemon
When Irene ‘Maneater’ Jenkins sits on death row, Sweetie Chapman arrives with a pot of slow-cooked beef stew and a reputation for making even the most tight-lipped killers talk.
Irene’s rumored to have killed and fed three husbands to her pigs. But Sweetie knows there’s always more to the story—and with time running out before the execution, every bite brings the truth closer to the surface. What begins as one last meal turns into a gripping, hours-long confession, unraveling secrets of abuse, revenge, and unexpected humanity.
As Sweetie and her sheriff son Wayne follow Irene’s trail of buried bodies and buried sins, they uncover more than just a killer’s motives—they uncover the cracks in a town that looked the other way for too long.
A darkly funny and deeply heartfelt cozy mystery where justice is served warm—with cornbread on the side.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
