It’s a case of cold feet—and cold-blooded murder—as
92-year-old poet/sleuth Victoria Trumbull gets more than she
bargained for after hosting an ill-fated
wedding.
A wedding on picturesque Martha’s
Vineyard promises to be the affair of the season when Penny
Arbuthnot asks her cousin, feisty 92-year-old poet Victoria
Trumbull, if she can use her property for the reception.
Victoria agrees—but she has no idea what’s in store for the
hapless couple.
For one, Penny is seriously in debt
and desperate to marry money. She thinks she’s on the road
to riches when she hooks Rocco Bufano, whose father is a
multi-billionaire. But unbeknownst to Penny, Rocco’s been
disowned by dad. He’s also in hock up to his ears, and
thinks he’s bagged the catch of a lifetime in a wealthy
Vineyard native. He also knows that someone is out to kill
him. In fact, several guests have a reason to off Rocco,
among them an autistic savant with a prodigious knowledge of
murder weapons.
Victoria has assumed the reception
will be a modest lemonade-and-gingersnap affair—but when a
body is found in her cellar, it may be a happily-never-after
in Widow’s Wreath, the fourteenth engaging
installment in Cynthia Riggs’s beloved Martha’s Vineyard
mysteries.
