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 . . .
The Kebab Kitchen, in the form of Lucy, is taking part in the Polar Bear Plunge for charity (this year it is the Senior Centre) and she has roped her best friend Katie in to do it as well. Before all that takes place Katie drags Lucy off to look at a potential wedding venue (okay Katie is also trying to find somewhere in a hurry for the Township employee's Christmas party as the previous venue closed without notice!), the Sea View seems fantastic, until they meet one of the owners, who is pompous, money grasping and just down right unpleasant! Even so everyone is shocked when Deacon Spooner ends up dead after the Polar Bear plunge and when it transpires he was killed and a local baker is arrested, Lucy and Katie put their virtual deerstalkers on and start to track down a killer.
