This is the 2nd installment of the Shepherd Sisters Mystery series. Savanna Shepherd is finishing up her first school year as an elementary art teacher after moving back home last year following the break up with her fiancé and quitting her job. She has landed on her feet and is thriving. She loves being home in Carson on Lake Michigan and she can not enjoy her summer break as she has pushed is working on a committee that brought Art in The Park festival to her hometown. As Savanna and her co-committee members John Bellamy (councilman and mayoral candidate) and Britt to meet up with the Festival board when Savanna notices a statue of one of the founding Carson’s vandalized. They assure the festival board that Carson wants the Festival and the police will get to the bottom of it. At the banquet that night with all the business sponsors there was a couple of altercations with John that Savanna observes but thinks nothing really of it until the next evening when she discovers him dead in his own house. Everyone wants Savanna to stay out of this including Dr. Aiden Gallagher who is worried about her. When a family friend is arrested for the death and Skylar is representing him, the Shepherd sisters help out to find out who is the culprit. As they do some digging, Savanna finds John was not the nice guy she thought he was and there is another community who is not happy that Carson was awarded the festival. I love Savanna and her sisters and how they all get along and chip in to help each other out no matter what. The Shepherd family dinners warm my heart and it makes you want to visit Carson (except for the murders of course). Author describes Michigan to perfection including our love of Vernors! The next installment will be an automatic buy for me I love this series that much.
