Minister’s wife, caterer, and part-time sleuth Faith Fairchild pairs up with Sophie Maxwell—last seen in The Body in the Birches and now a newlywed living in historic Savannah, Georgia, where she crosses paths with murder—in this delightful new entry in the beloved mystery series, complete with delectable recipes
Attorney Sophie Maxwell Maxwell has come to Savannah to be with her new husband, Will. But nothing throws cold water on a hot relationship faster than a dead body. Worse for Sophie, no one believes the body she knows she saw is real. Will is spending an awful lot of time in Atlanta on a case he claims is urgent, and she’s been tasked with house hunting for them with his former sweetheart, who Sophie can’t help but suspect wishes Sophie would return to her Yankee roots!
Fortunately, Sophie has a good friend in Faith Fairchild. And with teenage Amy being bullied by Mean Girls and husband Tom contemplating a major life change that will affect all the Fairchilds, Faith is eager for distraction in the form of some sleuthing. In between discussing newlywed agita, discovering surprising Savannah customs, and, of course, eating fabulous Lowcountry food, Faith and Sophie will pair up to unmask a killer!
