This Agatha Award-winning series is perfect for fans of Karen White and Dorothea Benton Frank. In upstate South Carolina, P.I. Liz Talbot carries her Sig 9 in her Kate Spade handbag while her golden retriever Rhett rides shotgun. She's a modern Southern belle who isn't afraid to bless hearts or take names. Then her grandmother turns up dead, and Liz hightails it home to find the killer. Her handsome business partner isn't keen on her relocation. Her chief-of-police brother doesn't want her involved in the investigation. And when her long-dead best friend pops in from the hereafter, and things go from complicated to downright convoluted. Needless to say Liz's quiet life in Greenville is gone like the tide. Add in long-simmering family feuds, felonious real estate developers, and secrets worth killing for... ...and it's safe to say this case is NOT going according to plan.
