Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Brooklyn and her new hunky husband, Derek, are excited to be guests at Dharma's first annual Book Fair. Dharma's home to a happy hippie, artsy community and Brooklyn's parents, Becky and Bob, were among the founding members. Derek's parents will be there too, so Meg, his mom, and Becky have a booth where they read palms and conduct seances. When the moms see theft and murder in their readings, Brooklyn wonders if they've been watching too many true crime exposes. Unfortunately, their visions prove true and now Brooklyn and Derek have to catch a spineless killer.
"San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright was hoping for a fun, relaxing weekend at a local book fair, but a murderer made other plans in the latest in this New York Times bestselling series. Brooklyn and her new hunky husband, Derek, are excited to be guests at Dharma's first annual Book Festival. The entire town is involved and Brooklyn's mom Rebecca is taking charge. In addition to all of her other event related duties, she's got Brooklyn doing rare book appraisals and is also staging Little Women, the musical to delight the festival goers. If that wasn't enough, she and Meg-Derek's mom-will have a booth where they read palms and tarot cards. Brooklyn couldn't be prouder of her mom's do-it-all attitude so when a greedy local businessman who seems intent on destroying Dharma starts harassing Rebecca, Brooklyn is ready to take him down. Rebecca is able to hold her own with the nasty jerk until one of her fellow festival committee members is brutally murdered and the money for the festival seems to have vanished into thin air. Things get even more personal when one of Brooklyn's nearest and dearest is nearly run down in cold blood. Brooklyn and Derek go into attack mode and the pressure is on to catch a spineless killer before they find themselves skipping the festival for a funeral"-- Provided by publisher.
