Funerals and Favors
Let no good deed go unpunished. At least, that's what it feels like to Darcy Harmon. She's helping a friend out, doing a favor, delivering flowers to a funeral when one of the attendees dies on the spot. Right there at the funeral. Right in front of Darcy.
She can't let that go without investigating, can she? Especially not after attempts on her own life. If only she could get Pete to talk to her. But nope, that officer's having nothing to do with her. What could make matters worse?
Helping her mother arrange a baby shower for Emma. Not only is their mother a basket case from the arrangements, she's also got a summer cold and can't bake for the event. Which leaves only one option. You guessed it. Ethan.
Things just got worse, didn't they?
Auctions and Alibis
One simple, little auction. What could happen, right?
Darcy's got an invitation to join Ethan at an auction. No, this isn't the date he supposedly asked her out for a while ago. This is a favor for his cousin who's some well-known New York Times bestseller. Why not, since said author agreed to do a book signing at Darcy's bookstore, and that's bound to bring in more business. Not to mention that's going to satisfy Becca's crush on said author.
What could go wrong at an auction for an old desk? Nothing, but what happens after the auction raises eyebrows. His home's broken into and the desk's been vandalized. And speaking of raised eyebrows, imagine Pete's when he walks in late at night to process the crime scene and finds Darcy there.
And to think after Darcy's last adventure with the wealthy sector of Cape Hope, she'd be done with attempts on her life. No such luck. And to compound matters, it seems that Ethan's life's at stake as well.
Can't a girl get a break? Is it too much to hope for a simple little mystery that doesn't involve endangering her life?
Off-Season Bake-Off
It should have been the perfect idea, right? A bake-off to take the pressure off Sylvia Harmon whose ex is getting remarried, thereby eliminating the pressure Emma and Darcy are under.
Brilliant, or so Darcy thought. Until it became time to talk Ethan Crosby into it.
Until the mayor ended up dead.
Until Aunt Trixie's accused—by the whole town!—of killing the mayor.
Now Cape Hope has a mystery on its hands and Darcy simply can't help herself.
Again.
