reviewed on + 65 more book reviews


Sarah Kelling has her nephew's wedding perfectly planned, including an outdoor reception at their Boston mansion. But she doesn't anticipate ahot-air balloon landing on the wedding tent or the squashed body beneath it. Even psychic cousin Theonia doesn't predict the reappearance of the long-lost Kelling rubies among the wedding gifts. Rising to the occasion, Sarah's shamus husband, Max Bittersohn, investigates. . .until he vanishes into thin air. Now with the entire eccentric Kelling clan searching for Max, will anyone notice the danger descending toward Sarah's three-year-old son? Soon the people Sarah cherishes most may be doomed unless she gets to the bottom of this ballooning mystery.
