Mysteries of Martha's Vineyard

When Priscilla sees a small plane go down over the marsh, she immediately calls 911. But the authorities insist no distress calls were made, and no planes were reported missing. When she finally locates the downed craft, she discovers that the pilot has vanished, and all signs indicate he wanted to disappear. What was on that plane that the pilot was so desperate to hide? Priscilla sets out to solve the mystery—and soon finds herself enmeshed in a plot that might prove too dangerous even for her. Meanwhile, when Gerald asks Priscilla to put together an Easter egg hunt at the Coast Guard station, she looks forward to working with him on it. But the reality doesn’t match her expectations as the ever-more-complicated project drives a wedge between them.

It’s springtime in Martha’s Vineyard, and Priscilla attends the annual Lambapalooza festival going on at Derry Wilson’s farm. When a cryptic message is sheared into Derry’s prize sheep Sally, just as the animal is about to go into auction, Priscilla—aided by Gerald and her cousins—sets out to find out who’s behind the prank. Is it the animal activist who pickets the event each year, the rival farmers with a history of conflict with Derry, or someone else intent on mischief?
Meanwhile, something is troubling Gerald, and Priscilla finds it almost as much of a mystery as the sabotaged sheep. Can she uncover answers to both puzzling mysteries?

Excitement abounds on Martha’s Vineyard in the final count-down to the wedding of Priscilla’s daughter, Rachel, and her husband-to-be, A.J. In addition to taking care of last-minute wedding details—complicated by interference from Merilee, A.J.’s sister—Priscilla becomes involved in a local wild-food chef apprentice challenge. Gerald’s troubled young cousin is competing for a big cash price and a plum job. But someone is undermining the candidates, eliminating them through mistakes and accidents. When evidence points to Kevin as the culprit—followed by his abrupt disappearance—Priscilla worries his second chance at a new life has failed. Or could he be the victim of a serious crime?

Worse yet, when A.J. also vanishes, Priscilla and Gerald must go undercover to search for him too. Can they find A.J. in time for the wedding, or will Rachel be left at the altar?

Priscilla and Gerald’s preparations for their upcoming nuptials are interrupted when Gerald’s heirloom eighteenth century ship’s figurehead is stolen from the East Shore Historical Museum. While the police try to track down the culprit, elderly Alzheimer’s patient Tom Campbell claims he knows how it was done, but he doesn’t remember who did it or when. It soon appears, however, that the thief would rather get rid of the old man than have him remember too much. Can Priscilla find the figurehead and the thief before Tom is silenced forever?

Meanwhile, when Gerald’s grandson surprises him with a puppy, Gerald wants to keep little Matey at Priscilla’s house until Gerald and Priscilla’s wedding. But with everything else going on in Priscilla’s life, this latest added burden makes her wonder—is she really ready to give up her independence and get married again?
