A couple finds an antique mirror that isn't broken, but still brings
bad luck--"MacLeod can be counted on for a witty, literate, and charming
mystery" (Publishers Weekly).
According to Max Bittersohn, he and Sarah Kelling have witnessed enough
murder and unhappiness, so it's high time they got married. And though
Sarah hasn't yet agreed to such drastic measures, she invites Max to
summer with her at Ireson's Landing. But they haven't been in the house
ten minutes when they stumble upon summer's first mystery--a
mint-condition, antique Spanish mirror that is tremendously rare and
valuable. Sarah has never seen it before and she doesn't know how it
ended up in the summerhouse, but the sleuthing couple will soon find
this looking glass to be more troublesome than anything Lewis Carroll
ever invented. As the zany Kelling clan descends on Ireson's Landing,
Sarah and her beau try to uncover the mystery of the Bilbao looking
glass--a quest that is disrupted when a vicious next-door neighbor is
found hacked to death with a woodshed ax. By summer's end, Sarah and Max
will learn that some murders can be solved simply by looking in the
mirror.
