The South End house where Elsie Brooks and her big, complicated family
live is bursting with secrets. Elsie's banished husband lives in the
basement. Her lonely sister lives in the attic. Her twenty-something
daughters come and go as they please. And when the renegade
ninety-one-year-old archaeologist they all know as Aunt Hildy comes home
to die, the poor old place becomes impossibly full-of hidden meanings
and hidden treasure, of murder and mystery.
Shoot Me is a story about family, fortune, and figuring out who you are.
Bestselling author Lesley Crewe has created a mixed-up, frantic,
ultimately lovable East Coast family. But as Aunt Hildy would say, "Life
is not something that needs to be tamed. It's messy. Always was, always
will be."
