Never mind that Brad won't give her the time of day—he's still family. Hazel recruits her book group members to help with the investigation. It's not long before they discover any number of people who feel that a world without Rox Howard is just fine with Brad's son believes that Rox and Brad were behind his mother's death; Rox's former young lover holds Rox responsible for a tragedy in his family; and one of Rox's employees filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against her. The killer could be an angry regular from the Moonshine Inn—or just about anyone who ever crossed paths with the willful and manipulative Rox. When a second murder ups the ante Hazel must find out who is behind the killings. And fast. Or she may be victim #3.
