   Three unlikely friends-to-be cross paths over a dead body in the woods and follow up the
   tragedy with the sort of female bonding that only too many mimosas and whisky-laced
   morning coffees can induce.

“When a timid Southern belle, a forensics-obsessed bossy librarian, and a woman
bent on hiding her past all stumble upon a dead body, they throw caution and
common sense to the wind and join forces to find the killer. However, it soon
becomes clear that their seemingly idyllic small town hides many secrets, and as
their investigation digs deeper, the body count rises in this cozy Southern Gothic
mystery.”
