What's a down-and-out heiress to do? In this updated version of the bestselling Blackbird Sisters, Nora Blackbird collides with one blue-blooded family with a peculiar penchant for archery tournaments, plus a former angry rock and roll star turned bakery maven, and even a spoiled rich girl who will stop at nothing to become a bigtime influencer. All these Main Line eccentrics are mixed up in murder--nothing new for Nora Blackbird, a one-time Old Money heiress who's now working her pretty butt off to make a living.
This time she is on the grounds of a fabulous estate when one of the most distasteful aristocrats is shot dead with an arrow on the eve of opening his tacky club called Cupcakes. How to find out whodunit to the Cupcake King?
Meanwhile, in her darkest hour Nora has a big secret she must keep at all costs from her sometime lover, tough guy Mick Abruzzo. This time it's definitely life or death for Nora, and there's not a minute to stop for a cupcake break.
"What a hoot! What a treat!" --Bestselling author Rhys Bowen
