Autumn’s colorful splendor reaches its pinnacle in Lancaster, Maine, as the high school football team preps for a game with its biggest rival. To promote Tea for Two, Jan Blake and Elaine Cook take their tea and goodies to the town’s annual Fall Fest. But when Jan joins a horseback trail ride, she finds a woman injured on the ground, with her horse standing nearby. Was it an accident? As the clues add up, the cousins soon realize there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Meanwhile, Jan’s son, Brian, begins spending more time with her than usual. Is he okay? And Archie Bentham returns from New York after meeting with an art authenticator, only to learn that determining whether his father painted Elaine and Jan’s beautiful flea-market find might be more of a challenge than he’d hoped for.
