"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
Minster's wife, caterer, and part-time sleuth Faith Fairchild pairs up
with Sophie Maxwell, last seen in Body in the Birches and now a
newlywed living in historic Savannah, Georgia, where Sophie crosses
paths with murder. Another delightful entry in the beloved mystery
series, complete with delectable recipes.
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!
