Witty addition to this mystery series.
State bridge champion and club woman Edie Whelan Burkett
has been dealt many a bad hand, but after being widowed,
the only things she has to sustain herself are a job at the
library and a thousand-acre pecan grove. And just when the
stress of it all seems too much, the grove's foreman
dies...followed by Edie-and not by natural causes. Now,
county magistrate Mac Yarbrough is on the case to prove the
foreman's son innocent of murder, and figure out who's
playing with a full deck-and who's not.
