Something old, something new, something dead...
It's autumn in Santa Fe, and Ellen Rosings is planning her Aunt Natās wedding at the Wisteria Tearoom. Her progress is derailed by a dead bodyāyes, another oneāthat she finds in her auntās driveway.
The corpse is an artist Ellen saw that morning selling gem-handled knives at the Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market. The detective assigned to the caseānot, alas, the handsome, sympathetic Tony AragĆ³nāis looking to Ellen to explain why the body ended up in Natās driveway. Tony is busy on his own case and canāt help.
Soon the dead artist starts appearing in Ellen's dreams, holding the knife that was found beside him. He wasnāt stabbed. What does it mean?
Between the dreams, the looming wedding, work pressures and a tenacious case of hiccups, Ellen fears sheās unraveling. Then a gem-handled knife is left embedded in Natās door, and Ellen knows she must solve the artistās death before another crime strikes closer to home.
This cozy mystery is the fourth in the Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries series.
