The whole family is coming along with friends from Zebulon. Buster is falling for Hymnal's sister, much to his chagrin, Hannah's quirky parents arrive with gifts that are, shall we say, that are not your usual wedding gift.

Now, with the help of her new husband, Hannah must find the answers to two questions:
1st; Who is behind the serial poisoning?
And more important …
2nd: In the end, why did the priest eat a poison petit four?

A little bit here, a little but there.
Wonderful book, Agatha Christie wonderful. Like Madam Christie the clues are given, dug up, or just land in your lap. The pieces are there, but there is still the problem of putting them together, only to discover some are missing. Love the mental gymnastics that make this book such a good read. First ever of the Hannah murder mysteries, but not the last. Thank you Ms Patterbee.

nice cozy mystery only one thing that I didn't like(it just got a little tiresome) all the explanation about each character (tall, slim blonde etc. a little was okay but got tiresome after awhile. It was almost like she was just trying to add words to get to a certain amount. But the story was good and believable.

Well, this was one of the few times I read the last book first. I was intrigued by the characters and their 'quirks.' I found the locations interesting. The crime was a head-scratcher also.
I will definitely go back to read the first two volumes. Hope many more are coming.

Getting married and going on a honeymoon has never been more complicated. Hannah and her fiance can't seem to make it through the ceremony and go on the honeymoon.

This is no easy, "the butler did it." Enjoyed this who dunnit (although I'd love to get the job of editing for typos and punctuation). 😏

The Priest Who Ate A Poisoned Petit Four is the first book I've read by Kee Patterbee. It is the third book in her romantic mystery series featuring former FBI agent turned culinary consultant/detective Hannah Starvling.
Patterbee's who-dunnit tale, which can be read as a stand alone book, was quite challenging to solve. The book moves at a steady pace allowing the author ample time to develop both her characters and the plot. The numerous plot twists and turns kept me on my toes three-quarters of the way through the story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Hannah and Hym are on the case again, and it's interrupting their wedding and honeymoon... another page turner that I couldn't put down! Can hardly wait for the next one! Please hurry and get it published Kee!

Great all around mystery
Enjoyed this book tremendously. Loved the Variety of characters and having the grandma getting involved really added good comedy. Lots of suspects to eliminate and good intertwining of lives. Ready to read another in this series.

Diversity...some people rise above it and change their lives. Others wallow in it and look for revenge.
This book brings both, even to the point of easily explainable deaths or are they in fact murder.
A good book by a new author for me. Looking forward to reading more by Kee Patterson.
