Kristan “Stan” Connor gladly turned tail on her high-flying job and moved to a quaint New England town to sell organic pet treats. But with her nose for solving murders, there’s no such thing as a quiet life…
Summer is winding down in Frog Ledge, Connecticut, but Stan’s love life and career are both heating up nicely. In between planning her new pet patisserie and café, Stan is settling into living-in-bliss with sexy pub owner Jake McGee. Love’s on the menu for Stan’s mom, Patricia, too, who’s engaged to Frog Ledge’s mayor, Tony Falco.
Mayor Falco’s dogged ambition isn’t popular among locals, but it’s his executive coach, Eleanor Chang, who’s inspired a dangerous grudge. When Eleanor is found dead, there’s a whole pack of suspects to choose from. Stan has first-hand experience of Eleanor’s unsavory business tactics. But finding out who forced her to take a fatal plunge off the corporate ladder means unearthing some shady secrets…and a killer who’s too close for comfort.
Another humdinger of a book by Liz Mugavero, Stan is now living with Jake (4 dogs and 2 cats), the plans for the new shop are going well (although as an investor Stan's mother seems to think that she should have input a LOT of input into the planning), oh and as it is the time for the official engagement party for Patricia and Tony Stan's sister and niece have turned up. There are a lot of people at the party, some of them Stan is happy to see others not so much, ex co workers and her ex boyfriend and then the evening takes a turn for the worse with no potential groom and a dead body!
