Brooklyn's future in-laws are traveling from England to meet
her, and if that's not enough to set her on edge, rumors
abound that the charming Courtyard Shops across the street
may be replaced by high-rise apartments. Their trendy
neighborhood will be ruined unless Brooklyn and her fiancé,
Derek Stone, can persuade the shopkeepers not to sell.
But with a rare edition of Alice in Wonderland causing bad
blood at the Brothers Bookshop and a string of petty
vandalism making everyone nervous, Brooklyn and Derek feel
overwhelmed. Then the owner of the Rabbit Hole juice bar is
felled by his own heavy shelves, and the local cobbler lies
dead beside him. Things get curiouser and curiouser when a
second priceless copy of Alice is discovered.
As the Brits descend, Brooklyn learns they're not so stuffy
after all. Derek's dad is won over with chocolate cream pie,
and his psychic mum would kill to help Brooklyn solve this
murder--before another victim takes a tumble.
