Baubles to Die For

Gifted sleuth Page Wright's inner world is anything but ordinary, yet her outer world craves a revamp from her mountain bookshop's continuing demands. A summer escape to her beloved cottage on Shell Isle with cousin Betsy Ross always promised fun and relaxation...until this latest holiday. Two constants exist that Page can't escape: Betsy's spicy culinary fiascos she's obliged to chase with endless antacids, and the special guidance she receives from 'inklings' when her sleuthing gifts are needed.

While the ever-curious Page and Betsy savor lunch at the Bistro, the sleuth observes a cryptic exchange between her la-di-da neighbor, Catherine Lange, and a seedy-looking guy sitting a few feet away. Their words travel across the caf 's table on a paper napkin. However, it's the pistol passed under the table that awakens Page's first inkling that unknown forces are conspiring to muck-up her and Betsy's carefree sojourn.

The cousins witness subsequent sightings of Catherine, dripping in her canary diamond jewelry and making ominous threats to five people in her inner circle. On alert now that trouble lurks, Page must entice an always reluctant Betsy to help when the nudge comes to act, knowing time is pressing.

BONUS: Betsy shares her recipes. Page suggests antacids.
