The Quiche of Death is the first in the Agatha Raisin series by the incredibly prolific M. C. Beaton. It has dropped to $2.99 as the US Nook daily deal, matched at Kindle and Kobo US. I think $2.99 is high for a very old first-in-series, which IMO should practically be given away to get folks to start the series, but still, this title doesn't drop in price very often, so...

It has been on sale a couple of times in various omnibuses (at least one in the US and one in the UK), so check carefully before you buy.

Spoiler:

The first book in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin mystery series—now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television.

Putting all her eggs in one basket, Agatha Raisin gives up her successful PR firm, sells her London flat, and samples a taste of early retirement in the quiet village of Carsely. Bored, lonely and used to getting her way, she enters a local baking contest: Surely a blue ribbon for the best quiche will make her the toast of the town. But her recipe for social advancement sours when Judge Cummings-Browne not only snubs her entry—but falls over dead! After her quiche's secret ingredient turns out to be poison, she must reveal the unsavory truth…

Agatha has never baked a thing in her life! In fact, she bought her entry ready-made from an upper crust London quicherie. Grating on the nerves of several Carsely residents, she is soon receiving sinister notes. Has her cheating and meddling landed her in hot water, or are the threats related to the suspicious death? It may mean the difference between egg on her face and a coroner's tag on her toe…
