The New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks
mysteries is back with more of those sleuthing Southern belles, the
Ducote sisters...
An'gel and Dickce Ducote, busy with plans for the Athena Garden Club's
spring tour of grand old homes, are having trouble getting the other
club members to help. The rest of the group is all a-flutter now that
dashing and still-eligible Hadley Partridge is back to restore his
family mansion. But the idle chatter soon turns deadly serious when a
body turns up on the Partridge estate after a storm...
The remains might belong to Hadley's long-lost sister-in-law, Callie,
who everyone thought ran off with Hadley years ago. And if it's not
Callie, who could it be? As the Ducotes begin uncovering secrets, they
discover that more than one person in Athena would kill to be Mrs.
Partridge. Now An'gel and Dickce will need to get their hands dirty if
they hope to reveal a killer's deep-buried motives before someone else's
name is mud...
