"Enticing recipes at the back of the book and cooking tips sprinkled
throughout...The crime is solved satisfactorily...[but] let's be
honest: most of us came for the food." -- New York Times Book
Review
Attorney Sophie Maxwell has come to Savannah to be with her new husband,
Will. But nothing throws cold water on a hot relationship faster than a
dead body. Worse for Sophie, no one believes the body she knows she saw
is real. Will is spending an awful lot of time in Atlanta on a case he
claims is urgent, and she's been tasked with house hunting for them with
his former sweetheart, who Sophie can't help but suspect wishes Sophie
would return to her Yankee roots!
Fortunately, Sophie has a good friend in Faith Fairchild. With teenage
Amy being bullied by mean girls and husband Tom contemplating a major
life change that will affect all the Fairchilds, Faith is eager for
distraction in the form of some sleuthing. In between discussions of
newlywed agita, surprising Savannah customs and, of course, fabulous
low country food, Faith and Sophie will pair up to unmask a killer.
"Readers will enjoy this entry in which danger--and clues turn up in
unexpected places." --Publishers Weekly
"Rich in details of the city of Savannah, its cuisine, and the
particulars of southern living, this satisfying mystery nicely weaves in
the backstories of series characters' lives that cozy readers
relish--and it includes recipes of southern delicacies." --Booklist*
