The community is bustling as it prepares for the upcoming Arts and Crafts Festival. It is a huge event for Fairhope and many tourists from out of town look forward to attending.
Former teacher and resident of Harbor Village Georgiana Burch is planning a dinner for some of her students who will be attending the festival. But she receives an unexpected surprise when her attention-demanding sister Twinkle Thaw turns up two days early and causes a stir.
Before you can blink and eye, Twinkle is dead for poisoning and there are plenty of suspects including everyone at the dinner party, Cleo's kitchen staff and one of her other employees. In her quest to determine if Twinkle died from food poisoning, she learns a great deal about the artist and her penchant for dangerous living. Cleo also has her own lifestyle dilemma. Her boyfriend Riley Meddors has purchased a home, which she hates, but is having a designer decorate especially for Cleo. He hopes she will love it when she sees it, and move in with him. Right now Cleo is too engrossed in the murder to think about her future.
Somehow Twinkle's death ties into the art theft at the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum in Boston and Cleo makes it her mission to find the connection.
I always love books that feature active, energetic seniors. They are more representative of the audience they are reaching.
