Stage of Fools

Delia Leary has her hands full-renovating her new bakery in Owlswich and finding the right staff to hire, planning the cake for Juliet Da Vinci's wedding, checking in on her dad in the nursing home, and trying to keep her sickly old truck running. The last thing she needs is a dead body, one that fell from her apartment window! When the Buffalo police start the investigation, Delia learns there were a number of people who had motive to push the dislikeable Reg Ashbury from an upstairs window of the Boroughbridge House. It's just that it doesn't seem the police are looking at all those suspects-she's the one they keep questioning. But Delia is persistent and she has her own unique way of following the clues-including dumpster diving!-until she pieces together what's happening. What she learns is shocking, and the cozy twenty-something apartment community at Boroughbridge House will never be the same.
