When Tennessee, yes my mother has a warped sense of humor, Wilson, runs off to consult on a local suicide, her boyfriend, Heath Powers is a little miffed. After all there is plenty of crime, but only one Heath Powers. So when she accepts an invitation for dinner and doesn’t ask him to tag along he gets in a snit and misses all the fun.
Except it isn’t. It seems Tennessee is more entertainment for the evening than a guest with her hostess probing her for details of the recent murders. And even worse, it seems as though she wants Tennessee to do something about her fiancé, Roger’s, supposed suicide and a text from a dead man’s phone. That’s a bit beyond the scope of dinner guest!
But when she finds out her hostess has been murdered and her daughter is missing the dinner takes on a whole new meaning for Tennessee. The guest list has become a list of suspects and Tennessee is a major witness. Luckily, she’s worked with Captain Ariel Seaworthy of the Vermont CBI and they make a tight team, with Tennessee gleaning information that doesn’t come out in official questioning.
The unanswered questions are staking up: Where is Felicity’s cell phone with the message from the dead man? Is Penny a godsend or the PA from hell? Was the suicide really a murder? Did the daughter disappear of her own free will, or was there foul play?
In a case where everyone has motive and opportunity Tennessee and Ariel have their work cut out for them. The trick is to find out who is lying, and who is telling the truth. Could the missing daughter have killed her mother? They’ll have to track her down to find that out but no one seems to know where she’s gone. And what about the hints the suicide is not what it seems? Could it be true that Felicity and Roger’s deaths are linked?
It’s a puzzle worthy of Tennessee Wilson and Ariel Seaworthy. But two questions remain: Will Heath ever come back to Tennessee and why must Felicity Die?
