The Sourdough Wars by Julie Smith
3.0
Meh.
Apparently, properly made sourdough bread is a thing in Northern California. Likely it dates back to gold rush times. Anyway, a sourdough magnate dies and his "starter" is to be auctioned off. There are something like four groups vying for the starter, but people in the groups begin dying. Then too, it appears that the starter is not where it's supposed to be. It can't be found.
Rebecca Schwartz, a Jewish/Feminist lawyer gets involved along with her journalist boyfriend, Rob Burns, and a couple of others. It was an ok story, but not all that great.
