Returning for a second suspense-filled mystery, Jemma Chase and Detective Tucker find themselves embroiled in a Property Owners Association power struggle. When a simple break-in escalates to murder, Detective Tucker finds suspects aplenty from POA president Petula Windsor's files, leading him to suspect the victim of blackmail. Tucker tries his best to keep Jemma's interest at bay, but when the president’s husband is found dead and Tucker's life is jeopardized, Jemma won't be stopped until she finds the murderer.

"Maggie Bishop delivers a thrilling whodunit, peppered with lovable characters and set against the beautiful backdrop of the mountains of North Carolina. Breath-taking action and nail-biting suspense, a twisting plot that guarantees constant speculation, this is one book that will have readers quickly turning pages, eager to find out what happens next. Highly recommended." --Christy Tillery French, Midwest Book Review

"Find yourself a cat or two, a comfy couch, and some time alone, then settle in for a story that is as deftly crafted as Jemma's cabinetry, and entertaining as Tucker's bemusement when Jemma gets it right -- again!"

-– schuyler kaufman, Carolina Mountain Living
