If only I hadn't kidnapped the dog...but the ransom paid
the mortgage....Now I seem to be a private eye....I
shouldn't have listened to that ghost....
Meet
Sarah Booth Delaney...an unconventional Southern belle
whose knack for uncovering the truth is about to make her
the hottest detective in Zinnia, Mississippi...if it
doesn't make her the deadest.
No self-respecting
lady would allow herself to end up in Sarah Booth's
situation. Unwed, unemployed, and over thirty, she's flat
broke and about to lose the family plantation. Not to
mention being haunted by the ghost of her great-great-
grandmother's nanny, who never misses an opportunity to
remind her of her sorry state--or to suggest a plan of
action, like ransoming her friend's prize pooch to raise
some cash.
But soon Sarah Booth's walk on the
criminal side leads her deeper into unladylike territory,
and she's hired to solve a murder. Did gorgeous, landed
Hamilton Garrett V really kill his mother twenty years
ago? And if so, what is Sarah Booth doing falling for this
possible murderer? When she asks one too many questions
and a new corpse turns up, she is suddenly a suspect
herself...and Sarah Booth finds that digging up the bones
of the past could leave her rolling over in her grave.
