"Everything I want in a mystery...a plot that keeps you turning pages, terrific dialog.... I enjoyed every minute of it."

Cape Cod! To Lydia Vivaldi, the quaint seaside village of Quansett looks like sanctuary -- until she learns her one friend here is dead. How could an expert Fix-It Chick fall off a ladder at a film shoot?

When Lydia lands a soup-chef job at Leo's Back End, she starts asking questions. Gossip and recollections from the locals -- a hippie bookstore clerk, an ex-police photographer, a Wampanoag pastry chef, a pair of Broadway musical composers -- reveal some dark secrets behind those white picket fences.

Still Lydia's stonewalled by the flirtatious filmmaker and warned off by the police. Only Edgar Rowdey, famous artist-author of creepy little storybooks, shares her doubts about the "accident." Can this unlikely pair of detectives find out what really happened before it happens again?

She wrote her first prize-winning play at 16 and her second, a rock musical, in 1968. Alongside a career in publishing, she helped found the Provincetown Playwrights' Lab and headed theater companies in Provincetown, Bourne, and Cotuit.
