About the book
A delightful new story from a New York Times bestselling author perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen Mystery series! In this page-turning new book, entertaining guru Sophie Winston is faced with a midsummer nightmare when a celebration in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, is the appetizer for murder…
Old Town’s midsummer celebrations are about to get even more delicious this year. In conjunction with a public showing of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ Bobbie Sue Bodoin, known as the Queen of Cheesecake, has enlisted Sophie to coordinate a waterfront dinner complete with a dessert spread. With her successful baking business booming, Bobbie Sue wants to show her appreciation to her hardworking staff.
There’s just one stipulation from Bobbie Sue when it comes to the menu: absolutely no cheesecake! However, the absence of her signature dish isn’t the only thing that’s missing from the evening—her husband, Tate, is conspicuously absent as well, much to Bobbie Sue’s dismay. The following morning, Tate’s lifeless body is discovered. Bobbie Sue vehemently denies any involvement in her husband’s demise and implores Sophie to help uncover the true culprit. As Sophie delves deeper, she uncovers a variety of town residents with motives to harm Tate. Will she be able to piece together the clues left by the killer in time to prevent another tragic event?
