Ever since local developer Fred Stanton and his wife, Mimi, built five modular homes next door to Lucy Stones farmhouse, life just hasnt been the same. With Mimi complaining about everything from the state of Lucys lawn to another neighbors lovable dog, quaint Tinkers Cove, Maine, is now entangled in cul-de-sac politics and backstabbing. And when Mimi doesnt show up for her shift at The Hat and Mitten Fund bake sale, the scent of burnt sugar leads Lucy to a shocking discovery Mimi, face down on her kitchen floor--with a knife in her back. While the police start their investigation, Lucy gets busy writing up the murder for the local Pennysaver--and following a few leads of her own. Lucy knows the women in her neighborhood didnt like Mimi, but they certainly didnt want her dead.
