A delightful new story from a New York Times bestselling author perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen Mystery series! In this page-turning new book, entertaining guru Sophie Winston is faced with a midsummer nightmare when a celebration in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, is the appetizer for murder…
Old Town’s midsummer festivities are getting a tasty addition this year. To coincide with a public performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Bobbie Sue Bodoin, the Queen of Cheesecake, has hired Sophie to organize a dinner with a dessert buffet on the waterfront. Bobbie Sue’s homegrown company is thriving, and since her baking dish overfloweth, she wants to reward her employees.
Bobbie Sue has only one menu demand: no cheesecake! But her specialty isn’t the only thing missing from the evening—Tate, Bobbie Sue’s husband, is too much to her annoyance. Next morning, however, Tate’s dead body is discovered. Bobbie Sue insists she didn’t kick her spouse to the curb, and begs for Sophie’s help finding the real killer. Digging in, Sophie discovers an assortment of Old Town locals who all had reason to want a piece of Tate. Can she gather together the crumbs the killer left behind in time to prevent a second helping of murder?
Includes delectable recipes and fabulous DIY decorating tips!
My Thoughts:
Sophie Winston is helping out organizing a dinner on the night of A Midsummer Night's Dream as a way to reward her workers. What Sophie is worried about is when Bobbie Sue can't find her husband anywhere even into the next morning when she and Sophie find the dead body of her husband. What happened and why? Who would want to kill Tate Bobbie Sue's husband? Did he have a tryst with someone? Or was it something worse?
This book had so much going on including the fate of Bernie a friend of both Sophie's and Mar's. When he's on the hook for the murder. Who would think Bernie would do this clearly hasn't read any of the previous books. It was a great read and see how those close to Bernie would jump up to protect him and get to the bottom of the whole situation!
