Not
even her impending nuptials can keep Lucy Berberian, manager of her
family-owned Kebab Kitchen, from the Jersey Shore’s annual Polar Bear
Plunge. But her dive into the icy ocean is especially chilling when she
finds a fellow swimmer doing the dead man’s float—for real . . .
Who would kill a man in cold blood during Ocean Crest, New Jersey’s
most popular winter event? When Lucy learns the victim is Deacon
Spooner, the reception hall owner who turned up his nose—and his
price—at her wedding plans, she can’t help wondering who wouldn’t kill the pompous caterer . . .
Perhaps the culprit is the wedding cake baker whose career Deacon
nearly destroyed? Or the angry bride whose reception he ruined? With her
maid of honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy
will have to get to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for
Kebab Kitchen’s mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her
hometown’s holiday spirit washes out to sea . . .
