Crafts and Life

It’s almost May, and some of the local ladies have organized a pagan celebration in the woods to welcome spring. But the evening goes terribly wrong when one of the attendees winds up dead, apparently poisoned by an herbal concoction prepared by Lucky’s grandfather, Jack.

Lucky’s sure her grandfather could not have made such a tragic mistake. But before she can clear him of suspicion, her best friend, Sophie, is diverted from planning her wedding to By the Spoonful chef Sage DuBois when she finds a dead man floating in the creek on her property. Now it’s up to Lucky to get both Sophie and Jack out of hot water before a killer stirs up more trouble…

There is a new library assistant in Snowflake who gets dragooned into taking part in the Beltane celebrations, along with six other women, by the end of the evening though one of them has wound up dead.  The problem seems to lie with the May wine that was offered to the dead lady and the herbs for it were provided by Jack, Lucky (the owner of the Spoonful)'s Grandfather. The widower seems determined to make sure Jack is suitably punished (although he couldn't punish him more than he is punishing himself!)

Then Lucky and Sophie find a dead body in the creek that runs through the family property (that the powers that be think could be Sophie's brother!), the resort wants to buy part of the land and the whole town seems to think they are invited to Sophie and Sage's wedding! Lucky needs to live up to her name and sort it all out so things can go smoothly on the wedding day.
