Library Journal Review

In this third entry in Deveraux's genre-switching "Medlar Mystery" series, an impending threat compels retired romance novelist Sara Medlar to rush niece Kate out of Lachlan, FL, by having them visit a friend in England pretending to be mortally ill for the occasion. Sara even suggests they try to solve the long-ago disappearance of some valuable jewelry from the estate by inviting folks present at the time to gather and party. Yet the discovery of human remains turns the festivities into a murder investigation. With a 150,000-copy first printing.
