For military wife and professional organizer Ellie Avery,
the hardest thing about hosting her husband Mitch's
rambunctious Southern family reunion is remembering
everyone's name. But this summer, her backyard hash is
shadowed by menace after a killer shows up without an
invitation.
Before the last slice of peach pie is served, the family
festivities are cut short by news that Mitch's squadron
commander has been strangled-- and the prime suspect is
his wife Denise, Ellie's close friend and fellow knitting
enthusiast. That same day, Ellie and the rest of the
sleepy little town of North Dawkins, Georgia, are shocked
to learn that one of Mitch's cousins--a fitness fanatic
who's in town for the party--narrowly missed being shot
when he collapsed during his daily workout. Everyone
agrees that the bullet was a stray from hunters
nearby...but to Ellie the close call is as suspicious as a
possum in a persimmon tree.
As the humidity rises, so does the danger. Ellie uncovers
strange cues that pint to a sinister and deadly plan...
and the possibility that someone wants to ground her pilot
husband, Mitch-- permanently. In between outdoor walks
with the Mom Stroller Brigade, drumming up clients for her
organizing business, and trying out new recipes for
Southern-style barbecue, Ellie must unravel a mystery that
grows more perplexing every day. Because if she doesn't,
Mitch's afternoon jog just may turn otu tot be a run for
his life...
