Description:

The old farmhouse on Little Wye Creek is creepy enough to be a murder scene, and there's even a dead man on the lawn, but Grace Reagan hopes the infamous Garret Bishop is just pulling another lame publicity stunt. Wealthy, eccentric Bishop has survived an avalanche, a hijacking, and a kidnapping plot. Did he die for real this time in a tragic accident, or was he helped along to his last headline? Bishop's death shocks everyone, especially Grace, who's so close to escaping the village of Mallard Bay she can nearly taste the lime in a Key West daiquiri. She has a few things to do before she goes, though, and selling the old Morgan farm is on the list. Even though the purchase contract in Bishop's coat pocket has a bullet hole in it, Grace isn't giving up. She's leaving Mallard Bay for good, and nothing's going to stop her, not even a murder. Book 2 in the Eastern Shore Mystery series. Can be read as a standalone or series entry point. A traditional mystery set on Maryland's Eastern Shore with dry humor, real stakes, and an amateur sleuth with backbone. For fans of Midsomer Murders and traditional small town mysteries.

“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“
