A Catered Tea Party Isis Crawford

Everyone in Longely is talking about Blue House, an art complex that will bring the town a theater, an art gallery, and even a restaurant and coffee bar. But theyre less than enthusiastic about Ludvoc “Zeb†Zalinsky, the self-made billionaire whos funding the complex. The night of the benefit arrives and Westchesters finest show up in droves. But just when it seems the production is going according to plan, Zeb lifts an electric tea kettle, clutches his chest, and falls to the floor in fittingly dramatic fashion. The kettle shorted out and his pacemaker malfunctioned—but it doesnt take long for police to decide that this seemingly random accident was actually cold-blooded murder, making another case for Bernie and Libby.
