"Reminiscent of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen cozies, which also

crimes." - Booklist
A delightful new story from a New York Times bestselling author
perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen Mystery series! In
this page-turning new book, entertaining guru Sophie Winston is faced
with a midsummer nightmare when a celebration in Old Town Alexandria,
Virginia, is the appetizer for murder...
Old Town's midsummer festivities are getting a tasty addition this year.
To coincide with a public performance of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," Bobbie Sue Bodoin, the Queen of Cheesecake, has hired
Sophie to organize a dinner with a dessert buffet on the waterfront.
Bobbie Sue's homegrown company is thriving, and since her baking dish
overfloweth, she wants to reward her employees.
Bobbie Sue has only one menu demand: no cheesecake! But her specialty
isn't the only thing missing from the evening--Tate, Bobbie Sue's
husband, is too, much to her annoyance. Next morning, however, Tate's
dead body is discovered. Bobbie Sue insists she didn't kick her spouse
to the curb, and begs for Sophie's help finding the real killer. Digging
in, Sophie discovers an assortment of Old Town locals who all had reason
to want a piece of Tate. Can she gather together the crumbs the killer
left behind in time to prevent a second helping of murder?
Includes delectable recipes and fabulous DIY decorating tips!
