“This promising series debut – edgier and sexier than most cozies – should intrigue anyone who enjoys biblio crime.��� – Booklist
“A cosy and literary mystery in a contemporary style, this story presents a clever puzzle and an abundance of possibly scheming suspects.”
– Haunted Reader, Reviewer
Book groups can be dangerous!
Hazel Rose never dreamed the mystery book group she and Carlene Arness started would stage a real murder.
Nevertheless, one night after a heated book group discussion, Carlene dies after drinking cyanide-laced tea. Despite a suicide note, Hazel isn’t convinced that Carlene took her own life. Hazel doesn’t like thinking that someone in the book group killed Carlene. Neither does she like the thought that Carlene’s husband Evan (who happens to be Hazel’s ex-husband) did away with his wife. But she���s stuck with the thoughts.
When Hazel seeks answers, she finds no shortage of motives as she unearths a past that Carlene took great pains to hide. Hazel’s investigation ends with a confrontation with Carlene’s killer, who is also protecting a past … and won’t stop at one murder.
