Books in the Sydney Riley series

If there's a dead body anywhere in Provincetown, wedding consultant Sydney Riley is going to be the one to find it! The seaside town's annual Portuguese Festival is approaching and it looks like smooth sailing until Sydney's neighbor decides to have some construction done in her home-and finds more than she bargained for inside her wall.Now Sydney is again balancing her work at the Race Point Inn with an unexpected adventure that will eventually involve fishermen, gunrunners, a mummified cat, a family fortune, misplaced heirs, a girl with a mysterious past, and lots and lots of Portuguese food. The Blessing of the Fleet is coming up, and unless Sydney can find the key to a decades-old murder, it might yet come back to haunt everyone in this otherwise-peaceful fishing village.

Sydney Riley is busier than ever organizing parties, weddings, and even a float for Provincetown's Carnival Parade. When her boyfriend's sister, Karen-who happens to be Boston's Police Commissioner-arrives for an unexpected visit, things don't add up. It's totally out of character for Karen to take a vacation, never mind at high season in a tiny summer resort packed with tens of thousands of scantily-clad revelers. Sydney suspects an ulterior motive and starts to investigate, which brings her face-to-face with some ugly truths about the world-and herself.Filled with the colorful characters and unexpected twists you've come to expect, this fourth book in the Sydney Riley series offers a gripping tale of courage and conviction set against the festive backdrop of Provincetown's most outrageous week.
