Faith Fairchild is busy at home and at work as Halloween comes creeping into the small town of Aleford, Massachusetts. Yet, when First Parish asks her to cater the church's restoration campaign kickoff at historic Ballou House, she gamely agrees. She's never done a Murder Mystery Game benefit dinner before, and there's the additional draw of four famous local mystery writers to join in the fun. But the evening's merriment is brought to a grisly halt when a beautiful young woman dies moments after finishing every last bite of the dessert Faith has prepared! Now Faith is in serious trouble. Her phone is ringing off the hook with job cancellations, and Aleford's wagging tongues are suggesting that it was Faith herself who laced the goodie with cyanide, having discovered her husband Tom's perhaps overly pastoral interest in the victim. Then young Ben Fairchild's elementary-school principal reveals that he's been receiving anonymous threatening phone calls. Faith's world feels steeped in poison and the one person she'd normally turn to for comfort and advice seems locked in his own private hell. Tom is barely speaking to her. Never before has Faith's amateur sleuthing hit so close to home -- and never before has it been more crucial. She has to find out who killed Gwen Lord to save her business, her marriage, and possibly her freedom. But before she does, there's a body in the moonlight -- a body that carries an unmistakable warning for Faith Fairchild.... You're next!

The body in the moonlight
Tenth chronologically and eleventh in the publication order in the Faith Fairchild cooking mystery series.
My Take
Faith is learning all about being a school mom with Ben going off to kindergarten this year; no separation anxiety for our boy! The only other school "problem" ' and it really is a problem ' is that the principal has been accused of a horrible crime.
Unfortunately for Faith, these issues will become minor to her peace of mind as she debates Tom's fidelity and the community itself questions Faith's motives…and starts canceling dinners right and left.
Good thing she now has the time to solve two mysteries: who would smear the school principal and who murdered Gwen. At least until more tragic death throws Faith in a new direction, solving one issue but raising others, until another meet-and-eat is set up, which scarily resolves the identity of the killer.
Man, I got so hungry reading through this. You almost need to shop the recipes in the back first so you can cook before doing the actual reading!
The Story
It should be a good fundraiser, catering a Murder Dinner to kick off the restoration campaign. Until one of the dinner guests provides them with a real victim. And Faith has a motive for having wanted her dead.
The Characters
Faith Fairchild is a caterer, the wife of a minister, and a mom. The Reverend Tom Fairchild is her spouse. Their son, Ben, is going off to kindergarten this year. Amy is their pre-school daughter. Nikki is Faith's assistant in her business, Have Faith.
The school principal.
The First Parish 250th Anniversary Campaign is…
…to raise funds for church repairs. One idea is the Murder Dinner planned by Polly Pringle, a party planner. Gwen is a young art major getting married in a few months.
The Cover and Title
I really don't get the cover. I don't see what relevance it has to the storyline. I mean, a scarecrow in a field of corn?? The title is where one victim is found, The Body in the Moonlight.
