Welcome to Mahalia's Sweet Tea--the finest soul food restaurant in  Prince George's County, Maryland. In between preparing her famous  cornbread and mashed potatoes so creamy "they'll make you want to slap  your Momma," owner Halia Watkins is about to dip her spoon into a grisly  mystery.  .  .
Halia Watkins has her hands full cooking,  hosting, and keeping her boisterous young cousin, Wavonne, from getting  too sassy with customers. Having fast-talking entrepreneur Marcus Rand  turn up in her kitchen is annoying enough when he's alive--but finding  his dead body face-down on her ceramic tile after hours is much worse. 
Marcus  had his enemies, and the cast iron frying pan beside his corpse  suggests that at last, his shady business deals went too far. Halia is  desperate to keep Sweet Tea's name out of the sordid spotlight but her  efforts only make Wavonne a prime suspect. Now Halia will have to serve  up the real villain--before the killer returns for a second helping.  .   .
