What do a tainted cake, a stolen recipe book and a dead body have in common? In the town of Coreyville, Texas, they are all intricate parts of the mystery novel by Robert Burton Robinson,
Sweet Ginger Poison. Virginia “Ginger” Lightley, proprietor of Coreyville Coffee Cakes, is every bit as engaging as Agatha Christie’s Jane Marple, but without the fluff. Ginger is a widow, the owner of her own business, and is keeping company with the local minister. Because the tainted cake came from her own shop, Ginger finds herself untangling the web of this mystery in order to clear her employees of the crime. She travels down one dead end after another in pursuit of the truth and, in the process, discovers quite a bit about her fellow citizens of Coreyville. Mr. Robinson knows how to tell a good tale. His characters are believable and the reader is quickly caught up in the people and the plot. This is definitely a story worth reading.
