Let dead bodies lie…
The last thing Vivian expects to see during a garden party at her family’s opulent lake house is the love of her life, Charlie Haverman, standing over the body of Hap, a man from Vivian’s past, and clutching a pair of blood-covered scissors. But there’s no denying the grisly scene in front of her—or that fact that Hap, who Vivian hasn’t seen since he abruptly broke off their fling to realize his dream as a pilot years ago—is dead.
Could Charlie have attacked Vivian’s old flame in a fit of jealousy? It certainly looks that way, although Viv knows Charlie isn’t capable of murder. But with witnesses reporting Charlie muttering angry words about Hap hobnobbing amongst the party guests and her family’s hostility toward outsiders, Vivian is going to have to figure out how to solve Hap’s murder and save the man she loves…before she loses him forever.
A country rapidly descending into war and old family secrets come together in the third installment of Cheryl Honigford’s beloved Viv and Charlie Mystery series.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in 1939, Honigford's diverting if muddled third Viv and Charlie mystery (after 2017's Homicide for the Holidays) takes radio actress Vivian Witchell and her beau, PI Charlie Haverman, from Chicago to Geneva Lake, Wis., to introduce Charlie to Viv's rich relatives. The pair attend a garden party at Viv's mother's summer estate, where they encounter Hap Prescott, Viv's youthful indiscretion, who flew supplies during the Spanish Civil War. Hap makes a play for Viv and otherwise tries to make Charlie jealous. After Charlie disappears, Viv goes looking for him in the estate's grand house, where she walks into the game room and sees Charlie propping Hap up and then Hap falls to the floor and Charlie is left holding a pair of bloody scissors. After the police arrest Charlie for Hap's murder, he urges Viv not to miss her long-planned screen test in Hollywood. Charlie later goes on the run, and Viv returns to Geneva Lake determined to find the real killer. Honigford loads the plot with a host of contrivances, but her upper-class heroine's busy sleuthing will keep readers turning the pages.)
