For most of her adult life, caterer and amateur sleuth Faith Fairchild has called the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford home. Though she has come to know the region well, she isn't familiar with Havencrest, a secluded wealthy enclave. When she gets a call from Havencrest resident Max Dane, a legendary Broadway producer planning his seventieth birthday party, Faith is intrigued. As they discuss the party's menu, Max reveals that one of his guests is planning to serve up a vastly different dish: murder. Faith's only clue is a sinister birthday gift Max received the week before?an empty casket sent anonymously, containing a twenty-year-old Playbill from his last, and only failed, production, Heaven or Hell. As an ice storm brews overhead and guests begin to arrive, Faith must keep one eye on the menu and the other on her host to prevent his birthday bash from becoming his final curtain.
