As Tinker's Cove buzzes over a town-wide silver-wedding anniversary bash, Lucy is reminded of her nuptials and ponders the whereabouts of Beth Gerard, her strong-willed maid of honor. Although the two have lost touch over the years, Lucy would never have made it down the aisle without Beth, so she decides to reach out. It only takes one phone call for Lucy to realize that a reunion will happen soon...at Beth's funeral. Beth, who was in the process of finalizing her fourth divorce, had a reputation for living on the edge-but no one can believe she would jump off a penthouse terrace in New York City. The more Lucy learns about Beth's rumored plot to scandalize her former husbands, the more she suspects one of them committed murder. Summoning her friend's impulsive spirit, Lucy scours New York from the Bronx to the Brooklyn Bridge in search of the killer. With each ex dodgier than the last, it's not long before Lucy's investigation leads her to a desperate criminal who will do anything to get away...

      Bestseller Meier’s mild 25th Lucy Stone mystery (after 2017’s Turkey Trot Murder) takes the Maine-based amateur sleuth to New York City for the funeral of her childhood best friend and maid of honor, Beth Gerard, who fell to her death in an apparent suicide from her 22nd-story balcony. Although the two became estranged in recent years, Lucy is certain that her spunky friend would never have jumped voluntarily. Beth was on her fourth divorce at the time of her death, and Lucy finds each of her former husbands to be an ideal murder suspect: notorious cult leader Gabe Thomas; Tito Wilkins, an artist with a violent imagination; Colin Fine, a chiropractor with a mean streak; and philandering billionaire Jeremy Blake. Ignoring Detective McGuire’s warnings, Lucy continues to pursue her investigation, which leads to some truly nail-biting, page-flipping moments. Fans probably won’t mind some political preachiness, but a major implausibility involving the killer’s motive may annoy those who recognize it. Agents: Meg Ruley and Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

      Narrator Karen White takes listeners on a journey from Maine to New York City as Lucy Stone investigates her childhood best friend's apparent suicide--which she suspects was murder. Lucy works to learn more about Beth Blake's adult life by visiting Beth's son and each of her four ex-husbands. White uses a gentle delivery instead of strong emotions to make the audiobook engaging listening. In doing so, she dramatizes the varied personalities of each of the five men. She does an especially effective job of making listeners relate to Meier's portrayal of PTSD, in particular the on-again, off-again panic that occurs in those who have suffered abuse. Overall, White makes this audiobook worth listening to. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
