SHADOWS ON A
CAPE COD WEDDING

The 6th in the Shadows Antique Print Mystery series! It’s October, and antique print dealer Maggie Summer’s off to Cape Cod to help her best friend, Gussie, with the all-important preparations for Gussie’s wedding. But, then, Maggie finds that body on the beach. And there’s the question of just who the dead man really is. And his daughter, who thought he died two years ago, shows up … When Maggie’s around, nothing’s simple. And usually Gussie and Maggie’s guy, Will, are pretty understanding about it all. But this time tempers fly. Along with some bullets. And when the winds start picking up, too …. Maybe not even Maggie can handle it all . .

“Cozy as a Cape Cod summer … this deceptively welcoming little town will captivate fans of Cabot Cove and St. Mary Mead – and the cleverly written puzzle is a perfect treat for mystery readers.”

- Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony & Macavity-winning author of The Other Woman

“Wait’s ongoing characters are complex, and continue to evolve when faced with unexpected challenges … (the mystery) captures the unique atmosphere of Cape Cod. As a major storm and the wedding approach,both the weather and the characters’ conflicts intensify.”

- Sheila Connolly, NYTimes bestselling author of the Orchard Mysteries & the Museum Mysteries
