An ageing heiress’s surprise engagement leads to murder in the Agatha Award–winning author’s New York Times bestselling series.
Wealthy, widowed art patron Virginia Neville has fallen head over heels for Jake O’Neill, her handsome, charming, and much younger fiancé. But when she announces their engagement at a gala gallery opening, not all the gathered friends and stepfamily are pleased. And before the last champagne bubble pops, murder disrupts the grand celebration.
Bookstore owner Annie Darling is shocked to learn that her employee Chloe Martin is the prime suspect. Now she’s determined to untangle an unholy marriage of jealousy, blackmail, and malicious mischief to clear Chloe’s name—even if it means having to cross swords with her policeman hubby Max and cross paths with a cruelly clever stalker.
