Summary

From 3x USA Today bestselling author Harper Lin

When Maggie Bell attends an elegant luncheon hosted by her landlady, Mrs. Peacock, she expects fancy food and awkward conversation with Fair Haven's wealthiest women. She doesn't expect several guests to collapse. Or for one of them to die from arsenic poisoning.

Suspicion quickly falls on reclusive farmer Gertrude Wheeler, the anti-socialite who had a grudge against the victim. But Maggie isn't convinced. As she digs into the secrets hiding beneath Fair Haven's elite, she uncovers an illicit affair, a bitter family feud, and plenty of motives for murder. With the help of her best friend Gary, Maggie must find the culprit before another deadly course is served.

Listen to the ninth book in the bestselling Bookish Cafe Mysteries, a cozy mystery series with a dash of romance.
