"After a career on Wall Street, Lindsey is making a different kind of dough in a pretty lakeside village, and the upcoming blueberry festival--including the pie-eating contest her bakery is hosting--is the highlight of the summer. But soon Beacon Harbor runs into a patch of trouble. A local real estate agent gets pranked. A parade float gets pelted with water balloons. It's all laughed off until the stunts start escalating--and looking more like sabotage. As the event turns into a debacle complete with rampaging goats, Lindsey's sweetheart, a former SEAL, starts investigating. But the juicy mystery takes a bitter turn when a man--dressed up as a Viking--is found dead in a boat, and it's no longer mischief but murder..."--Provided by publisher.

Kirkus Review

Water balloons, marauding goats, and a pie full of mice are just a few of the pranks that precede a murder. Lindsey Bakewell's bakeshop has been slammed during the town blueberry festival, but with help from her family; her best friend, fashion influencer Kennedy Kapoor; and her boyfriend, retired Navy SEAL Rory Campbell, she's doing her best. In fact, she's on the festival committee, holding a pie-eating contest, and modeling in her mother's fashion show along with Wellington, her Newfoundland. Trouble begins with an array of stolen For Sale signs on a realtor's lawn and water balloons thrown at the mayor's float. Even worse, the blueberry pie bake-off is ruined when one pie turns out to be full of live mice, the fashion show and the beer tent are overrun by a herd of goats, and artist Grayson Smythe's glass sculpture is destroyed. Though the pranks have drawn growing crowds to the festival, the jokes sour when Welly awakens Lindsey and Rory in the dead of night and they look offshore to spot a Viking boat that turns out to contain two passengers: a white goat, and the body of the goat's owner, Lars Jorgenson, who found all the pranks but this one hilarious. Lindsey, no stranger to murder, soon entangles her friends and family in sleuthing when Lars' death is traced to poison berries baked in a blueberry pie. The goat, who gets a fashion makeover from Kennedy, proves instrumental in solving the crime. You'll never see the end coming in this delightfully zany tale.
