Making her intrepid debut, funeral director assistant
Desiree Turner who must clear a loved one’s name of
murder. After an on-air gaffe goes viral and jeopardizes her
career, journalist Desiree Turner retreats home to
Verbena, California for some peace and quiet. She begins
working one of the quietest jobs around: presiding over
funerals for her great-grandfather’s funeral parlor. But
the action seems to follow her as a fistfight breaks out
between neighbors Rosemarie Brewer and Lola Hansen at one
of the first funerals she’s in charge of running. It
exposes a nasty dispute and Rosemarie’s husband, Alan, is
found murdered shortly after. Lola’s husband, Kyle, is immediately arrested. Desiree,
whose own father’s death was devastating, has always
viewed Kyle as a second father. Determined to clear his
name, Desiree jumps head first into the investigation and
quickly discovers that Alan had several unsavory habits
at his job and in his personal life, including putting
assets into his mistress’s account to hide them from
Rosemarie. People murder for money and love all the time,
and there’s no telling who he offended just enough to
push them over the edge. Desiree is looking in all the right places, but she
better catch the killer fast before they come for her
next in A Grave Issue, the clever series debut by Lillian
Bell.
