Quinn and her boyfriend, Tucker, plan a fire pit as a Christmas
present for his aunt Lela. While digging in Lela’s backyard to
prepare for the fire pit, Quinn’s spade hits a human skull. The
body has been there a long time and it turns out to be a young girl
who vanished decades ago.
Unfortunately, Lela
has a history with the girl and the police find the evidence strong
enough to arrest her. Tucker can’t believe his aunt is guilty and
wants to hire a private investigator, but Quinn and her sister,
Delilah, decide to exercise their sleuthing skills and find the
killer themselves. After all, it’s pretty tame running a B&B in
Savannah, Georgia.
Then the girls’
parents are implicated and the plot becomes more complex. Plus they
have even more reasons to solve the old crime.
I love the
characters in this book. Quinn and Delilah are typical sisters, but
their personalities fit together well to make them an invincible
team. Tucker seems a little too sensitive, but it makes a foil for
Quinn’s more take charge attitude.
Savannah is an
excellent backdrop for this old mystery. The cast of characters is
amusing and quirky. It’s a fun read and the mystery will keep you
guessing. This is the second mystery featuring the Bellandini sisters, and it doesn’t disappoint.
I received this book
from Penguin Random House for this review.
