Sarah Quilliam ("Quill") and her sister Meg are in deep financial trouble.  Unable to pay bills and overhead on their beloved Inn at Hemlock Falls, they're relieved when five women who call themselves The Crafty Ladies book several days at the Inn.  The local crafts fair and wineries, Quill and Meg hope, will bring in more tourists
 
When a guest at the Inn is murdered, and then a second body is found, both corpses with a triangle nearby, Quill sets out to unravel the motives and find the killer, while trying to deal with the Inn's day-to-day business, demands of the Crafts Fair, and a rather strange couple who run a local winery.
 
An entertaining story with a taut, suspenseful climax.

Recipe for Meg's 'Leftover Sourdough Bruschetta' and 'Flan Quilliam included.
