Brindlewood Bay retirees Mary, Jane, and Whitney are called upon to investigate the grisly demise of the local high school's mascot. Is there more to the blood and pageantry at the community ice rink than just a petty high school rivalry? The Murder Mavens are on the case... as soon as they finish their weekly book club meeting.
