Mystery
Planning New Year’s resolutions to rid her
life of all things unhealthy, Elizabeth Parker has dumped
fatty foods, processed sugar, and her two-timing boyfriend.
Indeed, the invitation to join her Aunt Winnie for a How to
Host a Murder Party on New Year’s Eve at Winnie’s new Cape
Cod B and B comes just in time. But when the local wealthy
miser ends up the unscripted victim, Elizabeth must unearth
old secrets and new motives in order to clear her beloved
aunt of suspicion. The suspects include the town gossip, a
haughty rich woman, and an antiques business owner much
enamored of his benefactress, a Mrs. Kristell Dubois. If
that isn’t bad enough, Elizabeth must also contend with her
childhood nemesis, Peter McGowan---a man she suspects has
only matured in chronological years---and her suspicions
about his family’s interest in Winnie’s
inn.
Yesterday, her only worry was of ever finding
her Mr. Darcy. Now she has a murder to solve. Is it any
wonder her resolution to achieve inner poise is in
tatters?
By reimagining characters and themes lifted
from the treasured classic Pride and Prejudice, and
crafting an expert, intricate mystery, Tracy Kiely has
brought to life something very special: a new cozy series
that is clever, vibrant, and utterly
disarming.
