Death of a Bear: A Provincetown Mystery - Jeannette De Beauvoir

n nSydney Riley is the wedding coordinator for the Race Point Inn in Provincetown, Massachusetts, a resort town on Cape Cod that attracts a diverse flow of summer visitors, including same-sex couples wishing to tie the knot where marriage equality in the United States all began. But Sydney's busy schedule is interrupted when, right at the beginning of Bear Week (one of many theme weeks celebrating various groups) she finds her boss, Barry, the inn owner--and bear himself--floating in the inn's swimming pool...dead.n nSydney thinks that everyone likes Barry, but soon she finds that there was a lot going on under the surface that she didn't know about. Who's been embezzling the inn's funds? Was Barry really running a green-card scam out of the inn? Are any of the condo owners next door irate enough to come after Barry? What about that mysterious person in the Gropius house that Barry's been seeing? And why does Sydney seem to be falling for--of all people--an ICE agent?n nJoin Sydney, her friend the Bulgarian artist Mirela, her coworkers Jason and Mike, Barry's longtime partner Glenn, local police detective Julie, and a cast of a hundred bears as she tries to find out what really happened to Barry...hopefully before the killer collects any more bodies n n n
