2005 Tradepaper reprint. Fifth in the Sheila Travis
Mysteries. What does a Dunwoody matron wear to a funeral?
Her black tennis dress. It's no joke, however, when the
funeral is given for your high school buddy's wife, and she
has been brutally murdered. Sheila Travis, successful
corporate executive and attractive fortyish widow, has met
Yvonne Delacourt once, at a party. Yvonne is stunning,
ambitious -- and intensely disliked. Under the local
residents' gracious veneer of Southern hospitality, Sheila
senses their seething antagonism to young Mrs. Delacourt.
When Yvonne is found stabbed to death, the police focus on
her husband, Walt, as the most likely suspect. Sheila sets
out to clear the pal of her youth by finding out more about
those Dunwoody residents who loathed the alluring victim.
The spirited search reveals dark secrets more carefully kept
than the manicured lawns of this exclusive enclave -- from a
respected matron's double life, to a retired couple's vile
secret, to an arrogant gardener who has no gardening tools.
But the real shocker comes when Sheila, following lurid
hints about Yvonne's slippery past, arrives in the dead
woman's Florida hometown. Horrific discoveries reveal a
soul-chilling evil and elicit unexpected sympathy for
Yvonne's killer. Back in Dunwoody, Sheila finds her emotions
stirred by an undeniably appealing man with a disturbing
connection to the crime. Her maverick investigation
startlingly reveals that the biggest secret of all was Yvonne's.
