Leslie Meier: Bridal Shower Murder, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When her daughter gets engaged in Tinker's Cove, Maine, reporter Lucy Stone finds herself feeling like a steamed lobster while dealing with her future son-in-law's family---and a summer bridal shower that leads to murder . . .

Lucy Stone is thrilled about her youngest daughter Zoe's engagement to Chad, a rising minor league baseball player with dreamy eyes and plenty of Southern charm. Yet the whirlwind romance has turned Lucy's life upside down in more ways than one---especially when she learns about Chad's complicated background and close ties to Tinker's Cove. The secrets and rumors are enough to send her investigative reporting instincts into overdrive . . .

Trouble really crashes in the moment Lucy meets her in-laws-to-be, Penny and Nate Nettleton. Penny proves intent on taking over wedding preparations, even arranging a Tuscan-themed bridal shower before Zoe publicly announces her engagement. It's a shock when the event goes off without a hitch. But the real shock comes when prominent guest Hetty Furness, head of the Tinker's Cove Historical Society, goes missing---only to be found brutally murdered . . .

Lucy is determined to reveal who committed the vicious crime as she navigates her new reality with the Nettletons. Racing to discover if Hetty's extensive knowledge of local history---and hidden scandals---led to her demise, Lucy soon realizes she'll need to put her sleuthing talents to work like never before to guarantee wedding bells ring for Zoe and Chad . . . and survive to see her daughter walk down the aisle!
