It's all lighthearted fun until Corbin's dead body crashes the party. The only possible suspects are the eight people around the séance table-a circle of clasped hands that wasn't broken. Suspicion quickly falls on Grandpa Ash, the only one with actual blood on him. To prove her beloved grandfather's innocence, Tempest must figure out what really happened-and how-or Ash will be cooking his delectable Indian and Scottish creations nevermore"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Recipes.; Novels.; Authors; Dwellings; East Indian Americans; Family-owned business enterprises; Grandparent and child; Murder; Seances;
