Sarah Kelling/Max Bittersohn series
Sarah Kelling and her art detective husband, Max Bittersohn, have joined the rest of the Kelling clan to plan a charity auction for the senior citizens' recycling center. All goes smoothly until tea is served. What Cousin Theonia sees in the leaves causes her to hurl her antique cup against the wall. Theonia's forebodings prove correct. Before the big event, one of the Center's members is murdered and an examination of the will points the finger of suspicion at the Kellings. An irritating reporter appears and a seedy individual involved in an old family scandal reappears. Then, another corpse pops up in the gardening shed on the night of the ball. Once again, Max is enlisted in the task of bailing out the Kellings.
