After her devastating divorce, and losing her marketing
job, Candy Holliday takes refuge with her father Doc at his
farm in Cape Wellington, Maine. Together they run Blueberry
Acres where life is quiet and peaceful . . . most of the
time.
As the town prepares for their annual Blueberry Festival,
one of the town's more eccentric residents, aging playboy
Jock Larsen is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. His
death is ruled accidental until town gossip columnist (and
newly elected Blueberry Queen) Sapphire Vine is found dead,
and the connections and coincidences begin to add up.
The likely suspect looks to be handyman Ray Hutchins, but
Candy knows that poor slow-witted Ray couldn't have
possibly done these crimes. But as she and her best friend
Maggie begin to dig around, it soon became clear that
Sapphire had a lot of dirt on a lot of people, and a passel
of dark secrets of her own.
As the ladies untangle the web of deceit, with a little
help from cute newspaper editor Ben Clayton, they find a
mess stickier than Candy's sweet blueberry pie.
