It's Christmas and time for an engagement party. Merle's French lover arrives just in time and sweeps her off her feet again. But is he really here for the engagement party and the holidays, or does he have a secret agenda connected to his work in wine fraud? When Pascal takes Merle to see a drag revue she is even more confused. What is he up to? Is he working with the French consulate? How is the French drag queen involved?

Set in New York City, this story features all five sisters and extended family over the holidays. Festivities, fun, food, and fraud, as well as answers to questions posed in the first Bennett Sisters mystery, 'Blackbird Fly.'
