But as the part-time reporter learns this cold November morning will claim more than potted plants . . . Besides the annual Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving Day Lucy expects the approaching holiday to be a relatively uneventful oneuntil she finds beautiful Alison Franklin dead and frozen in Blueberry Pond. No one knows much about Alison except that she was the daughter of wealthy investor Ed Franklin and struggled quietly with drug addiction. Police blame her death on an accidental overdose but Lucy cant understand what terrible forces could lead a privileged woman to watery ruin . . . Alisons funeral service is just as puzzling. Many believe Eds youngand very pregnantnew wife Mireille divided the family leaving Alison to wither on the vine. Did Mireille truly adore her stepchild as Ed claims or did she pit father against daughter for personal gain? As a state of unrest descends on Tinkers Cove Lucy is thrown into a full-scale investigation. Now in a race against time Lucy must beat the killer to the finish lineor she can forget about stuffing and cranberry sauce . . .
