Penny’s Third Adventure
Penny Summers, a thirty-something ex-Navy public affairs officer, is dumbfounded to learn that her first major landscape design client, Aidan, has died. She’s doubly bumfuzzled, as her great-aunt would say, to discover that Aidan’s wife, whom she had not met, is her long-estranged mother, and triply-bumfuzzled to conclude that her mom caused Aidan’s death.
When she hears whispers from her late lamented Grandpa Jack, though, her suspects multiply. Then, with forensic help from her 12-year-old CSI-wannabe “niece” Kalea, and Irish shenanigans from Aidan’s sainted brother Brendan, on loan from Broadway, Penny’s focus widens again. It takes another death before Penny and Brendan hatch a plan.
