The milestone twenty-fifth book in the beloved Faith Fairchild mystery series finds the amateur sleuth and caterer on Maine's Sanpere Island for a summer of friends, family?and murder.
The warmer months have found Faith surprisingly unencumbered.Her husband, Tom, is sharing office space on the other side of the island; their son, Ben, has remained at college in Rhode Island; and their daughter, Amy, is working at the old Laughing Gull Lodge, now a revamped conference center.
Faith has plans of her own. Her friend Sophie Maxwell is up for the summer, without her new husband, looking for distraction from the fact that she isn't pregnant yet. Faith's good friend Pix Miller's daughter 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 even before a body with a mysterious tattoo and connections far from Sanpere appears in the Lily Pond. Leaving her blueberry buckle cooling on the counter, Faith must quickly get some answers?no matter the risk.
