Tippy Toe Murder: A Lucy Stone Mystery (Lucy Stone Mysteries)

About this book

With three kids underfoot a fourth on the way and an oppressive heat wave bearing down homemaker Lucy Stone is hardly enjoying an idyllic summer. But her preoccupation with swelling ankles Bavarian creme doughnut cravings and sewing endless sequins on ballet recital tutus gives way to dread when Lucy learns that her waistline isnt the only thing thats recently vanished from Tinkers Cove. . . The strange disappearance of a retired dance instructor has the tiny coastal town in a tizzy that turns to terror when a notoriously cantankerous shopkeeper is slain right on Main Street. Now Lucys up to her bulging belly in local suspects and red herrings. Eluded by a cold-blooded killer with her due-date looming and the thermometer soaring Lucy figures something has to break soon. With any luck it wont be her water. . .
