Description

Lily Robertss Cape Cod tearoom is hosting a bridal showeruntil a gruesome gift sends the guest of honor running in fear . . .

Members of the Reynolds and Hill families are staying at Lilys grandmothers bed and breakfast, and now theyve gathered at Tea by the Sea to sip some delicious blends while they shower bride-to-be Hannah Hill with presents. But the last package Hannah unwraps contains a beheaded Raggedy Ann doll and triggers a bloodcurdling scream. A doll like this was the last gift from her father before he died long ago, and shes chilled to the bone.

Lily senses that the shocking anonymous gift just might be related to other tensions shes picking up on. The mothers-in-law have been sniping at each otherand then Lily, out walking her dog, overhears the grooms father, Ralph, offering his son a very sizable bribe to call off the wedding. Shes relieved when Greg angrily turns him down, but with so many people steamed at each other, can this event possibly go smoothly

The answer is no. It suddenly has to be postponedwhen Ralph is found dead in his bed, a bottle of whiskey beside him. When tests indicate the booze was infused with a lethal substance, it becomes a murder case, and of course, accusations are flying wildly with the guests all too willing to believe the worst about each other. Now, to find out whether all this family drama led to a fatality, Lily will have to turn up the heat . . .
