An announcement that the Boston-based public television show American Antiques is coming to Martha’s Vineyard to shoot an episode has the island’s residents digging through drawers and attics in search of hidden treasures. The show’s hosts are famous for revealing the worth of unsung antiques that are brought to the show. Priscilla’s cousin Gail asks Priscilla to help her search a friend’s cottage at the Camp Association for valuable items to be appraised. But when their search turns up a large model ship that looks old, Wanda, the cottage’s owner, is baffled. How did the ship get there, and, perhaps more importantly, who left it there? As Priscilla sets out to investigate this seemingly innocuous collectible, she finds herself drawn into a bizarre web of intrigue that stretches from Boston to the cozy environs of Martha’s Vineyard and back.
Prickly Virginia Lawrence, a preeminent scholar of Vineyard history, is also a notorious recluse. Therefore, the island is abuzz when Priscilla manages to book a library lecture with the local eccentric. However, on the evening of the event, Virginia is a no-show and nowhere to be found, and the valuable museum artifacts in her possession are now missing as well. As Priscilla delves into the mystery of Virginia’s ill-timed disappearance, a seemingly unrelated puzzle emerges. Could a rash of random cemetery plunderings somehow be connected to the missing historian?
As pressure builds to find Virginia and the missing priceless artifacts, she begins to doubt her own instincts—especially when she spies Gerald having mysterious dinner meetings with a lovely blonde-haired woman.
Excitement abounds on Martha’s Vineyard in the final count-down to the wedding of Priscilla’s daughter, Rachel, and her husband-to-be, A.J. In addition to taking care of last-minute wedding details—complicated by interference from Merilee, A.J.’s sister—Priscilla becomes involved in a local wild-food chef apprentice challenge. Gerald’s troubled young cousin is competing for a big cash price and a plum job. But someone is undermining the candidates, eliminating them through mistakes and accidents. When evidence points to Kevin as the culprit—followed by his abrupt disappearance—Priscilla worries his second chance at a new life has failed. Or could he be the victim of a serious crime?
Worse yet, when A.J. also vanishes, Priscilla and Gerald must go undercover to search for him too. Can they find A.J. in time for the wedding, or will Rachel be left at the altar?
Priscilla and Gerald’s preparations for their upcoming nuptials are interrupted when Gerald’s heirloom eighteenth century ship’s figurehead is stolen from the East Shore Historical Museum. While the police try to track down the culprit, elderly Alzheimer’s patient Tom Campbell claims he knows how it was done, but he doesn’t remember who did it or when. It soon appears, however, that the thief would rather get rid of the old man than have him remember too much. Can Priscilla find the figurehead and the thief before Tom is silenced forever?
Meanwhile, when Gerald’s grandson surprises him with a puppy, Gerald wants to keep little Matey at Priscilla’s house until Gerald and Priscilla’s wedding. But with everything else going on in Priscilla’s life, this latest added burden makes her wonder—is she really ready to give up her independence and get married again?
Wedding bells are ringing for Priscilla and Gerald. But when someone repeatedly sabotages a popular pirate-themed tourist ship and island attraction, Captain Jack’s High Seas Adventures, of course, Priscilla, Gerald, and the cousins jump in to help. Can they figure what’s going on before the saboteur drives the island’s much-loved Hale family out of business?
Unfortunately, the time they must devote to sleuthing threatens to sabotage Priscilla’s efforts to put the final touches on her wedding plans. And when a falling steeple thwarts their hopes for a lovely church wedding, can Priscilla and Gerald find a perfect last-minute change in venue for their big day?
