An assistant principal is found dead and a sleuthing mom studies the clues: "Captivating, well-written, and just plain fun." -- Tulsa World

It's back to school time in the peaceful Maine town of Tinker's Cove, and for Lucy Stone, mother of four, it isn't a moment too soon. But trouble at the local elementary school soon has the sometime crime-solver juggling family, job, and night classes with another mystery. And it starts with a bang.

A bomb goes off with the noon lunch bell, but not before all the kids are safely evacuated, and Carol Crane, the new assistant principal, is hailed as a hero. But days later, Carol is found murdered and everyone is stunned when the most popular teacher at the school is arrested for the crime. However, not everyone is buying the open-and-shut case, including Lucy, who's about to uncover some sizzling secrets and explosive surprises -- and get an education in the fine art of murder -- in this "lively" mystery from the New York Times-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

"I like Lucy Stone a lot, and so will readers." -- Carolyn Hart, New York Times-bestselling author of the Bailey Ruth Mysteries
