Sarah Quilliam ("Quill") and her sister Meg are in deep financial trouble. Unable to pay bills and overhead on their beloved Inn at Hemlock Falls, they're relieved when five women who call themselves The Crafty Ladies book several days at the Inn. The local crafts fair and wineries, Quill and Meg hope, will bring in more tourists
When a guest at the Inn is murdered, and then a second body is found, both corpses with a triangle nearby, Quill sets out to unravel the motives and find the killer, while trying to deal with the Inn's day-to-day business, demands of the Crafts Fair, and a rather strange couple who run a local winery.
An entertaining story with a taut, suspenseful climax.
Recipe for Meg's 'Leftover Sourdough Bruschetta' and 'Flan Quilliam included.
From Publishers Weekly
As usual, Sarah "Quill" Quilliam, and her sister, Meg, the owners of a quaint upstate New York inn, have more trouble than they can handle in this sixth installment of Bishop's Hemlock Falls mystery series. With tourism at an all-time low, the sisters must struggle to meet payroll while entertaining the Crafty Ladies, seemingly sweet old ladies who have gathered at the inn to meet the elusive president of their craft-kit business. When a fire in the hotel kills a Crafty Lady right after the inn changes insurance agents, Quill begins to suspect foul play. Suspects are thick as flies on flan, but topping the list are the conspicuously absent president of Crafty Ladies and the owner of the local diner who will do anything to take possession of the Inn. As before, Bishop (Death Dines Out) serves up a couple of tasty recipes to complement her stories, both of which are among her most tasty.
