Kirkus Book Review

Reporter Lucy Stone takes time off from planning her youngest daughter's wedding to investigate the murder of her Maine town's historian. Lucy is tickled when minor league baseball phenom Chad Nettleton surprises her daughter Zoe with a 2-carat engagement ring during the couple's visit to introduce Chad to Lucy and her husband, Bill. Two weeks later, Chad's parents, Penny and Nate, show up to spend a weekend in Tinker's Cove and get to know the Stones. In the course of that brief trip, Penny meets Janice Oberman, mother of Tinker's Cove's premier wedding planner. Within weeks, there's a shower, Penny and Janice announce the date of the upcoming nuptials (much to Lucy and Zoe's surprise), and Penny rents a home in Tinker's Cove to be close to the action. Lucy is desperate to slow things down. Wedding tasks are taking their toll on Zoe and making it hard for Lucy to pursue her feature story on the wrongs done to the Metinnicut tribe that once inhabited Tinker's Cove. Meier toggles back and forth uncomfortably between the breakneck-paced wedding shenanigans and Lucy's slow, meticulous probe into the destruction of the Metinnicut enclave of Pine Tree, sometimes putting one or the other of the narratives on hold for several chapters. Things don't get any better when Hetty Furness, chair of the Tinker's Cove Historical Society, is found murdered in the society's headquarters. In addition to finding justice for the Metinnicut, Lucy has to unmask the real killer to save the Metinnicut chief's innocent son, who falls under suspicion because of his activism on his tribe's behalf. Murder, marriage, and Metinnicut history just don't mix in this meandering mélange. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
