Formal Fatality

Cat Latimer and her neighbor, Dante, are throwing a party the weekend before her monthly writers' retreat starts. Dante had asked for her help to find who was blackmailing the wealthy parents of Covington's students. The party's going strong until a body is found in Dante's conservatory after the desserts are served.

With a retreat to run, Cat doesn't have time to find a killer, but when it becomes clear that the dead guy killed was the blackmailer, the list of suspects explodes and includes Dante who's now the primary suspect on Uncle Pete's list.

If Cat can't find out who the real killer is, Dante may have to move from the big house on the corner to The Big House AKA Colorado State Prison.
