Crafts and Life

After Allie inherited her family s McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop, cousin Tori moved off to California in a bitter huff, and the two haven t spoken since. So to have her cousin reappear on Mackinac Island without warning is a big surprise but not as surprising as finding her standing over a dead woman impaled with a garden spade in the Mackinac Butterfly House. Butterflies may be free, but Tori won t be for much longer unless the cousins can bury the hatchet and work together to catch a killer who s taken flight. Because when it comes to family, blood is thicker than fudge . . .

Another great installment from Nancy Coco, the usual crowd are there (Allie, Jenn, Frances and so on!), this time Allie's cousin is in the wrong place at the right time and becomes a person of interest in a murder.  Allie hopes that they can put the past behind them and work out who was the murderer because Allie is fairly sure that Tori isn't it. During all this Frances and Mr Devaney are hoping to get married, Trent is not around (or is he) and things seem to be going from bad to worse!  Oh, Fudge seems to sum up the situation rather well.
