‘Harris draws the guilty and the innocent into an engrossing tale while inventing a heroine as capable and complex as P. D. James’s Cordelia Gray’ (Publishers Weekly)
In the eighth book in bestselling author Charlaine Harris’s compelling mystery series, Aurora Teagarden, ‘a genuine steel magnolia’ (Booklist) will have to use all of her southern wiles to investigate a murder within her own family . . .
Not just any woman in Lawrenceton, Georgia, gets to be a member of the Uppity Women Book Club. But Roe’s stepsister-in-law Poppy has climbed her way up the waiting list of the group – only to die on the day she’s supposed to be inducted.
What makes Poppy’s murder even worse are the rumors of infidelity on both sides of the marriage swirling around town. To find the killer, Roe must determine if the sordid stories are true. Suspects abound, and the things she uncovers make her question her own heart, but her passion for the truth drives her on: into the path of the cold-blooded killer . . .
‘Clearly focused plot, animated description of character and sparkling prose commend this breath of fresh air to all collections’ (Library Journal)
‘Great bloody fun’ (Barbara Paul)
