“Warm summer days, 4th of July, fireworks that go off with a bang, these are a few of my favorite things,” I sang to myself as I scooped ice cream, taking liberty with the lyrics of a popular Christmas song. It was summer in Lilac Bay, and that means the holiday of all summer holidays was here. And so was a new murder. Sigh.
Summer is in full swing in Lilac Bay, and Maddie and her bestie, Chloe, are enjoying everything the season has to offer. But when they find out a murder has been committed, they're on the hunt for a killer. Will they find the murderer before they strike again?
What an awesome July Fourth mystery and very cool ending! The two women who were fighting over the murdered guy were something else, definitely wacko! The scene with Maddie’s neighbor Margie trying to keep a woman from building a tacky-looking shrine to the dead guy was actually pretty funny! I wonder what’ll come next for Maddie and her friends?
