Now she has the help of her adorable granddaughter, Maddie, to complete a room box in time for the "The Real President's Day" of Lincoln Point. But when trouble looms over the event, she'll need to enlist her little helper for a much bigger project.
Gerry's neighbor, June Chinn, has shocking news. June's friend Zoe has been arrested for murder. Zoe's boyfriend, a local artist, was found artfully killedand now June desperately needs help. But Gerry soon discovers that there are some unsavory folks who think that Gerry's better off sticking to room boxes than sticking her nose where it doesn't belong...
