Publisher's Synopsis
Polly's friends and family are madly preparing for the upcoming Sycamore Arts Festival. Rebecca arrives home from her trip with Beryl Watson to Greece with less than three weeks to ensure she's ready for the onslaught of artisans and crafters. The stress of the festival, exhaustion and sleep deprivation, while also worrying about her sophomore year of college all conspire to drag her back to adolescent behavior. To top it off, a stalker targets young women in Bellingwood. His list includes Rebecca.
Because one crisis isn't enough, Heath asks Polly to look at a house on a property east of town. He knows this presents an opportunity to the university and demands that she allow him to be the first person to enter the house. Having Polly find a body in a house he might someday purchase and renovate isn't ideal for him or Ella. Little does he know that when the universe wants Polly to find a body, she will do just that, no matter how hard Heath or anyone else works to avoid the situation. When she calls Sheriff Merritt, his response was unexpected, yet surprisingly appropriate. New relationships and old friendships, a few unexpected opportunities, and a surprise or two are all earmarks of a visit to Bellingwood. Polly and Henry's kids are growing up. While they meet new challenges, they also remind us that they still have much to learn. Becoming a responsible young person is hard work. Welcome back to Bellingwood.
