Josie Prescott is settling into her new life in New
Hampshire. Her antiques business is thriving, she's
beginning to make some close friends, and her relationship
with the local police chief is becoming more interesting.
Not bad for someone who has completely uprooted her life as
a New York City auction house expert in order to get a
fresh start in a small New England town.
With so much suddenly to lose, Josie can't help but worry
when murder invades her seemingly quiet community. Josie is
sponsoring the Portsmouth Women's Guild Annual Black and
Gold Gala and is looking forward to receiving a kindly
worded thank-you for her efforts. Instead, the Guild
representative, Maisy Gaylor, dies a horrible death in the
midst of the banquet. Who could have wanted to kill
earnest, drab little Maisy? "Funny, isn't it," muses the
hostile detective Rowcliff, "how a lot of people end up
dead when no one has any enemies."
Everyone who had access to the wine Maisy drank, including
Josie herself, soon comes under suspicion. Can Josie manage
to ferret out the truth, keep her business running
smoothly, and continue to put down roots in her new town,
or will everything prove too much for her to handle on her
own?
