Mystery

Out damned spot! 
As her wedding to detective Cas Wolfe approaches, Candyce "Dyce" Dare, sole owner (and employee) of the furniture refinishing business Daring Finds desperately needs to find something to do to avoid sitting down and planning the event with her mother and her best friend.  (particularly since she suspects their plans involve having her cat dress in a tuxedo) Working on a table she recently bought at a yard sale fits the bill.
 
Until her sanding efforts uncover a disturbing stainβ€”one that looks like it might be blood. Dyce knows that, with a fiancΓ© who’s a policeman, parents who own a mystery bookstore, and a recent history of inadvertent involvement in murder cases, she can be prone to see things that aren’t there. But then she discovers that the table’s previous owner has gone missingβ€”and once more, she is drawn into a solve-it-yourself mystery project. And when Dyce starts a project, she just has to see it through…
