As the Tarver Elementary School PTA president, Beth Kennedy is always on the go-especially when someone puts murder on the agenda. Beth has been running nonstop to be the best PTA president, bookstore owner, and single parent ever, which is why her friend Marina is staging an intervention. Beth needs to take a break-and that means letting someone else organize the PTA's upcoming eightieth-anniversary event. But when Cookie Van Doorne, one of the event speakers, dies of suspicious causes, Beth decides to make an intervention of her own to find out what happened. When she discovers that Cookie was poisoned, the next order of business is catching a killer whose break is almost over.
