(2016)(Act Two)
(The second book in the Magnolia Steele Mystery series)A novel by Denise Grover Swank
Book Two in the Magnolia Steele Mystery series by Denise Grover Swank.
For as long as Magnolia Steele can remember, the past has had its hooks in her. Her time as a Broadway actress in New York City was an escape that ended in public humiliation, but now that she's back home in Franklin, Tennessee, she's feeling the grip of the two incidents that stole her innocence. The first was the disappearance of her father when she was a teen, who left home for a meeting and never came back. The other incident...well, her memories have returned, but it's best left where it belongs - in the past.
Hoping for closure, Magnolia decides to look into her daddy's cold case. Though the town gossips are convinced he ran away with his client's wife and money, she has always suspected foul play. Talking to a few of his old acquaintances seems harmless enough - until the man she's arranged to meet turns up dead. There's evidence someone murdered him to keep him quiet, and she realizes that whatever conspiracy her father was mixed up in is far from over; it's entering its second act.
If Magnolia keeps digging, she's not sure she can trust her own momma to help her, let alone her new friends and the police detective who's eager to woo her, but after years of running, she's ready to stand her ground.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
