It's murder by musket at a Revolutionary War re-enactment: "This satisfying cozy will appeal to fans of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries."—Booklist

High noon on July Fourth in the quiet town of Longley, New York, and it's got to be a hundred degrees. Thankfully, sisters Bernie and Libby are setting up their yummy catering in a shady gazebo for the reenactment of The Battle of Meadow Creek—and not baking in those Revolutionary War uniforms with their fellow townspeople.
After a few cheery exchanges of "Moveth" and "Thou speakest treason," the muskets are fired and the fake battle is over. But the blood on the notorious town playboy looks very real. Is it possible he's had his last tryst?
When town councilman and resident loudmouth Rick Evans accuses Libby's beau, Marvin, Bernie and Libby know they've got to get cooking on the case. But the former Casanova has burned half the town—including the hotheaded politician and his occasionally faithful wife. And what about the re-enactor who's training as an EMT yet almost fainted at the sight of the deceased's blood?
Bernie and Libby have their plates overloaded with suspects, and will need to work fast to clear Marvin's name. The simmering killer is still out there, armed and taking shots, and unless the sisters quickly get to the bottom of this patriotic pre-meditation, their goose may be cooked...
