About the book
New York Times-bestselling Author: A daughter of wealth and privilege dies in a frozen-over Maine pond, and a sleuthing reporter is on the case…
The final remaining flowers on Lucy Stone’s porch have been affected by the season’s first frost. On a positive note, Thanksgiving and the annual Turkey Trot 5K are approaching in Tinker’s Cove, Maine - although unfortunately, Lucy’s four children will not be home today. However, the holiday takes a tragic turn when Lucy discovers the lifeless body of Alison Franklin in Blueberry Pond.
Alison’s background remains mostly unknown, except that she was the daughter of wealthy investor Ed Franklin, who has a new wife close to Alison’s age. With a rise in heroin usage in the town, law enforcement attributes Alison’s death to an accidental overdose, while her father makes ambiguous accusations based on bias. Lucy is perplexed by what dark forces could drive a privileged woman to destruction...
As unrest spreads throughout Tinker’s Cove, Lucy is thrust into a comprehensive investigation. Now, she must outsmart the murderer to reach the end - or risk missing out on the holiday feast with all the trimmings…
