Minister's wife, sometime sleuth, and culinary artist Faith Sibley Fairchild is intrigued by rumors of mysterious doings at Hubbard House - an elegant, secluded retirement home for the well-heeled Yankees of Aleford, Massachusetts. Determined to do some surreptitious snooping, she joins the pricey retreat's flu-depleted kitchen staff, only to witness an aging resident collapse face-first into a bowl of Faith's hot and savory boillon. But it isn't until a blackmailing drug dealer turns up dead in Faith's bedroom that the amateur investigator realizes that murder not only happens at Hubbard, it's the specialty of the house! And Faith's own demise might very well be the next item on the menu.

From Publishers Weekly In Page's third Aleford, Mass., mystery (after The Body in the Kelp ), young minister's wife Faith Fairchild, formerly a trendy New York gourmet caterer, scatters upscale brand names like confetti while acting as an amateur investigator. Asked to look into strange doings at a luxurious retirement retreat operated by saintly old Dr. Hubbard, his doctor son and nurse daughter, Faith soon turns up blackmail, illicit sex, cocaine and murder. The Fairchilds, who apparently haven't heard of Christian charity, cold-shoulder a graceless divinity student intern and poke lighthearted fun at folks who neither serve nutty basmati rice for lunch nor wear Faith's designer originals. (Readers may find themselves longing for V.I. Warshawski, rooting around in her dirty laundry in search of a decent outfit she can don one more time.) There are some hair-raising scenes, however, as well as a leisurely, happy final chapter featuring a yuletide party at the parsonage and the Christmas Eve children's pageant at the church.

From Library Journal Faith Fairchild, former New York City caterer, investigates a suspect retirement home in the small New England town where she now lives. Third in a series.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Kirkus Reviews Here, spunky New England minister's wife Faith Fairchild (The Body in the Kelp, The Body in the Belfry)--while volunteering at a posh retirement facility under the aegis of venerable Dr. Roland Hubbard--barely has time to introduce herself before an old-timer falls face down into a cup of soup that she brings him. Then when a severe snowstorm forces Faith to stay the night, Eddie the groundskeeper/drug-dealer is waiting in her bed--dead. Despite warnings from husband Tom and best friend Pix, Faith persists in snooping--and discovers: several of Eddie's blackmail victims; a resident kleptomaniac; a philandering wife; and the black sheep Hubbard son, James, who quickly becomes a hit-and-run statistic. A final confrontation with the murderer will find Faith scurrying around the Hubbard House grounds just as Tom drives up. Not very plausible, and the author's strengths--genteel satire and wry humor--are not much in evidence here. Still, those in search of mild-mannered amateur-sleuthing might appreciate the nosy Faith (and enjoy her catering touches, too). -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. How did this happen? By John S. I started with the Faith Fairchild series part-way through. Looking for some not-so-serious reading material after a lot of non-fiction, I decided to go back and try a couple of earlier books in this series. I couldn't get into one of them much at all (Vestibule), but figured that was ok, as it was somewhat atypical.Bouillon was more standard (being set in Aleford helped). I would have just let this one go without a review as "Not great, not bad, worked as intended to fill miscellaneous time (bus rides, etc.)." What's the problem? I'm not politically correct by any stretch of the imagination, but the depiction of Chief Coffin of Byford struck me hard. He is no longer up to the job, yet the townspeople cannot bring themselves to let him go. The author explains this away as a "Yankee" thing - I'd say, perhaps, a small town thing instead. I found myself cheering for him when he is outright nasty to Faith. I was left wondering if the editor challenged this character at all. I would have done so.Bottom line: Ms. Page's writing matures as the series progresses. The books are not really dependent on each other ("Fjord" restricts Faith's roles to a couple of cameo appearances). Consider skipping the first few books if you're new to the series, and don't go back if you missed those.
10 of 13 people found the following review helpful. a delightful concoction -- By kellytwo The adventures of Faith Fairchild make for rather low-key but very enjoyable reading; the characters are true-to-life and above, all, real. The plots make sense and are intricately woven into the lifestyle of the residents of Aleford, Massachusetts.Faith Sibley was an up-and-coming caterer in Manhattan when she met and married Tom Fairchild, a minister. This new lifestyle wasn't totally strange to her, as her father and grandfather had been ministers, as well. It was the New England part of the equation that was the jolt, but gradually the small town charm began to take hold, as did her transplanted catering business 'Have Faith'. The birth of their son, Benjamin, made life wonderful, until the first murder in THE BODY IN THE BELFRY.Now, it's two-and-a-half years later, coming on for Christmas--the busiest time in the church--and in this story, a large old estate in a nearby town has been converted to a residence for the well-heeled older citizens of the area. Run by a doctor, Roland Hubbard, plus his son and daughter, the genteel establishment should apparently have no problems. But a friend of Faith's Aunt Charity has discovered something, and mentioned it in a letter to her, but without any explanation. And then, suddenly, he dies. Aunt Chat asks Faith to please find out what went wrong.When Faith seizes on the idea of visiting another resident acquaintance, she is taken for kitchen help, as the staff is temporarily overcome with the flu. She decides to go along with the idea, until the person she was going to visit collapses into the bouillion she had prepared.An invitation to the Christmas Ball by the 'Pink Ladies' Volunteers takes Faith and Tom to Boston for the evening, and provides an introduction to the rest of the Hubbard family as well as various staff members, some of whom are definitely on the eyebrow-lifting side. As winter begins to settle in, preparations are underway for the church's Christmas season, not to mention all the holiday cooking and shopping, and Faith is kept busy with all the activity.Her car slides off the road during a blizzard, necessitating a stay overnight at Hubbard House. What a terrific opportunity to do some exploring! But, when Faith returns to her room, she finds it occupied. By a corpse. Following so close after an accidental fall by one of the Pink Ladies, it's time to call in the forces of law.The presence of John Dunne, a Detective Lieutenant of the State Police, plus Charley MacIsaac, the local police chief ensures a thoughtful conclusion. Indeed, you could do a lot worse than to embark on this series of life (and the occasional murder or two) in a small town in New England. I think you'll be glad that you did. My librarian recommended the first book to me, and I'm certainly happy I followed her advice.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I just love this series!!! By T. Steffes I don't know why. I'm not Christian and the series revolves around a minister's wife. Page just creates characters that feel like they are alive, and you want to find out what the're up to. Yes, if I knew of her I'd stay far away because everyone winds up dead at places she goes to, but I love to read about them!
