Book club members find themselves working to solve the murder of one of their members’ husband. Each member of this close knit group plays an active role in the discovery process and of course secrets are revealed, both old and new.
I enjoy this author very much but did not enjoy the story. Maybe the cozy mystery genre is not her thing.
