She may be a Mississippi belle, but Sarah Booth Delaney is no pampered daddy’s female. Unwed and over thirty, Sarah offers her own set of problems–like coping with regular hauntings by her great-great-grandmother’s nanny, a busybody of the ghost who’s established on marrying her off towards the 1st suitor who comes calling. But when an old friend is usually in trouble, Sarah Booth doesn’t think twice to become involved. Splintered Bones Eulalee McBride offers confessed to murdering her spouse…and she desires Sarah to dig up the dirt around the violent scalawag to prove he got what he deserved. Sarah Booth suspects that her friend is usually lying down through her teeth…but why? There’s no insufficient suspects in Zinnia, Mississippi, including Bud Lynch, a equine trainer who arouses killer lust in the town’s ladies. As Sarah Booth begins to construct the pieces of the case, a killer is preparing to strike again. And this time it could send out one late-blooming southern sleuth into an early grave.
