The milestone twenty-fifth book in the beloved Faith Fairchild mystery series finds amateur sleuth and caterer Faith Fairchild in Maine for a summer full of family, friends, food, and murder
It’s a hot summer on Maine’s Sanpere Island, and Faith Fairchild is surprisingly unencumbered. Her husband, Tom, is sharing office space on the other side of the island; their son, Ben, has remained at college for the summer as a professor’s research assistant; and their daughter, Amy, is working in the kitchen at the old Laughing Gull Lodge, now a revamped conference center.
Faith is looking forward to some projects of her own. Her friend Sophie Maxwell is up for the summer without her new husband, looking for a distraction from the fact that she isn’t pregnant yet. And the daughter of Faith’s good friend Pix Miller is getting married to a wonderful guy . . . with a less-than-wonderful mother. Between keeping Sophie’s spirits up and Pix’s blood pressure down, Faith has her hands full.
And that’s before the body appears in the Lily Pond . . . a body with a mysterious tattoo and connections far away from small Sanpere Island. With her blueberry buckle cooling on the counter, Faith must once again pick up her sleuthing hat to get some answers.
