Sarah Booth Delaney uncovers skeletons in closets—and elsewhere—as she attempts to solve a murder that threatens to tear her beloved town in half. “This cozy read is the next best thing to curling up with a mint julep on the porch swing on a lazy afternoon.”—Publishers Weekly A born-and-bred Mississippi belle, Sarah Booth Delaney is no ordinary P.I. And this was no ordinary murder. The dead man was Ivory Keys, a gifted Black pianist—and his murder has sparked the kind of racial divide Zinnia, Mississippi, hasn’t seen since the Civil War. After all, the prime suspect is Keys’s protégé, Scott Hampton, a white rich boy turned racist—and Sarah Booth has been hired to prove he didn’t do it by no less than the victim’s widow. For a woman feeling a little heat of her own—navigating between a rich, available businessman, a married lawman with a waffling heart, and the sexy bluesman who is angling to become much more than her client—this case is taking some dangerous twists. A town’s slumbering passions have been awakened with a jolt, a matchmaking ghost is eyeing some promising suitors, and Sarah Booth is caught between her need to know the truth and the consequences it will have on her town—and on her life. . . .
