Bea
Cartwright is expecting a full house at her B&B. EGG is
coming. That is, the Elkhart Ghost Getters are coming to get
more footage of “Sleepy” Harlow. Not many people
are looking forward to a return visit. The last visit by EGG
to Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island, they trashed part of Kate
Wilder's precious grape vines. Noreen Turner, EGG lead investigator,
will not take no for an answer to filming in the winery. Kate
Wilder, the winery owner is adamant – no more filming.
Kate
is thrilled to be interviewed by Deidre Mannington of Wine!
Magazine. It will put the Ohio wines on the map. Unfortunately,
this was an elaborate setup by Noreen to get Kate off the
island and out the way. Noreen jimmied the lock on the winery
door and lied to her crew to get them to film. Caught in the
act, Noreen had no choice but to leave.
The next
day, Bea is checking out the venue for the annual Wake to
Summer event. The guys are putting the plywood coffin in place.
It seems awfully heavy for an empty plywood coffin. The men
end up dropping it and the broken coffin reveals a body. It
appears that someone really didn't want Noreen Turner to do
any more filming. When Bea sees her friend, Kate, get into
the police chief's vehicle, she knows she will have to find
the real murderer. Let's hope Bea will be able to finish the
Halloween book selection –The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Bea had better be very careful solving this murder or she
could end up fermented.
Things
to ponder: Can Bea reconstruct Marianne's ruined manuscript?
Is Kate a witness or prime suspect? Just what did Bea see
in the winery?
This
is one of my favorite series. What could be more fun that
a mystery series that is about a reluctant book club? I love
how the mysteries run parallel to the book the League of Literary
Ladies are reading. Bea and her friends always rally together
to solve the mystery – especially if the accused is
one of their own. This well-plotted mystery will be a delightful
treat for cozy mystery readers. I found I could not put this
book down – I had to find out whodunit. So if you like
your mystery with a literary spirit, then you should be reading
The Legend of Sleepy Harlow.
