About the book
During a busy Easter in Tinker’s Cove, part-time reporter Lucy Stone is not willing to focus all her attention on one thing - especially when it involves solving a dangerous mystery.
The Heritage House senior center is well-known for its friendly staff and annual Easter Bonnet Contest. However, when retired librarian Miss Julia Tilley arrives for a stay, Lucy uncovers a less perfect side of the facility. Soon, the center may be in the spotlight for a different reason after a resident disappears with no explanation.
Lucy is puzzled by Agnes Neal's disappearance during the Easter bonnet contest at the assisted living facility and the lack of concern from others. Agnes, a retired journalist known for her keen eye for detail and independent spirit, clashed with some and irritated others by not conforming to social expectations.
As the police struggle to find answers, Lucy realizes that betrayal knows no age limit, drawing parallels between her daughter's friends and the social dynamics at Heritage House. Collecting clues as fragile as a half-eaten chocolate bunny, Lucy must uncover the truth behind Agnes's disappearance before she herself becomes another unsolved tragedy in the spring.
