Biggie Weatherford is a Texas grandmother with a sharp mind and a taste for amateur detective work. When the much-hyped opening night of a restaurant serving nothing but chicken ends in tragedy, she finds herself in the middle of the investigation. The restaurant's owner has been killed, and the scene is strange enough to unsettle even seasoned guests: his body is slathered in gravy and topped with a sprig of parsley, as though he were the evening's main course. Biggie starts asking questions, and soon the suspects begin to pile up around her. Her small-town instincts, a stubborn streak, and a willingness to poke into other people's business make her an unlikely but determined investigator.
