At first glance, the residents of Herald Springs lead charmed lives. But behind the dazzling smiles and inside the large brick homes, they all have their secrets. Most are harmless, but then again Annabeth King never did quite fit in.
This newest neighbor is harboring a special secret of her own, one that could prove deadly. Will the members of the “drink and gossip” club figure out what Annabeth’s working so hard to hide before disaster comes knocking?
Fans of Desperate Housewives and Pretty Little Liars will find themselves falling hard and fast for. This debut in the new Book Cellar Mystery series will leave you wondering: just how well do we know our neighbors after all?
Just released today!
Brooke was not a "take ’em as they come" kind of woman. She liked to approach each new day with a thoroughly detailed to-do list scrawled onto her favorite rose-scented stationary with her initials emblazoned across the top. BFF. Brooke Frances Fischer. The one—the only—BFF to the entire town of Herald Springs. Well, at least as far as they knew.
Everyone in the town—heck, in the state—loved Brooke and her tiny fur companion, Tiara. After all, what wasn’t to love? In her prime, she’d been crowned Miss Herald Springs Teen Queen, and her beauty hadn’t faded one lick over the years. Like the imported Chianti she kept plentifully stocked in her home’s private cellar—and also, by special request, always on hand at the Book Cellar—Brooke had only gotten better with age.
At twenty-nine, she had her pageant title, a husband who was both handsome and wealthy, an adorable Pomeranian of blue ribbon blood...and then there was her business. While she only worked a few hours each week, her party-planning business was always in high demand. The Herald Chronicle had even named her Business Woman of the Year for three years running. Not that it was hard in this tiny Podunk town, but still—she loved seeing the look on Mitsy Grazier’s face year after year as Parties by Brooke beat out her muffin bakery yet again.
Yes, Brooke had quite the glamorous life, one for which she preferred to hold the reins. Which is why it was so upsetting that Vi had invited a certain frizzy-haired stranger to their book club that evening.
