Description

Lucy Stone, a dedicated reporter from Tinker’s Cove, Maine, couldn’t be happier about her youngest daughter Zoe’s engagement to Chad, a promising minor league baseball player with charming southern manners and irresistible appeal. Yet as delightful as the celebration seems, it quickly brings chaos into Lucy’s usually tranquil life—especially when she discovers Chad’s complicated background and his surprising connections to Tinker’s Cove. Her reporter’s instincts immediately sense trouble.

Challenges multiply when Lucy meets Chad’s parents, Penny and Nate Nettleton. Outspoken Penny seems determined to seize control of the wedding plans, even planning an elaborate, Tuscan-themed bridal shower before Zoe’s engagement has officially been made public. Lucy braces for a disaster, but to her surprise, the party passes without incident—at least, until prominent historical society leader Hetty Furness vanishes and is later found murdered.

Lucy knows she must uncover the truth behind this shocking crime, especially since Hetty had extensive knowledge of the town’s sensitive historical secrets. With suspicions mounting and new family tensions complicating things further, Lucy sets out to put her investigative skills to the ultimate test. It’s now a race against time as she tries to identify the killer, protect her family, and ensure that Zoe and Chad’s wedding day remains a cherished occasion—not a tragic one.
