New York Times-Bestselling Author: A feud between two competitive moms may have turned fatal in the "engaging cozy series" set in small-town Maine (Publishers Weekly). Two of her four kids may be out of the nest, but Lucy Stone knows only too well that mothering is a lifetime commitment. At least she gets to kick back and enjoy a fancy Mother's Day brunch with her brood-that is, before the festivities are interrupted by a nasty scene courtesy of Barbara Hume and Tina Nowak. Opposites in every way, these mean moms have only one thing in common: the need to best each other at every turn, using their teenage daughters as pawns in elaborate games of one-upmanship. But even after witnessing the women's claw-sharpening rituals, Lucy never expects to see actual blood spilled-until Tina is shot dead on the public tennis court... "As charming and enjoyable as ever."-Romantic Times "Lucy Stone is an endearing sleuth."-Dorothy Cannell
