Cymberline, GA. Nina Fleet has barely settled into her new B&B-to-be when a "penguin" shows up on her porch. Harry Westcott is making ends meet as an ice cream shop's mascot-- and has a letter from his great-aunt, pledging to leave him the house. But someone is out to stop Harry from contesting the sale of his great-aunt's house. Realtor Gregory Bainbridge intends to turn a convent into a golfing community, and Nina is persuaded to take in the elderly nuns. When Nina finds the "penguin" in an alley with a knife in his chest, the body inside the costume is Bainbridge. Who was the intended victim? And will Nina be next? -- adapted from jacket
