There are two social functions in Savannah guaranteed to get people talking: weddings and funerals. And just as consignment shop owner Reagan Summerside agrees to marry the hunky Walker Boone, her neighbors, sisters Annie Fritz and Elsie Abbot, step up their business as professional mourners. They are so successful that the Sleepy Pines Retirement Center has hired them as a part of their retirement package. But the celebration over good business is cut short when the residents at Pines suddenly begin dying at an alarming rate. And the sisters are the first suspects.
Reagan has her doubts, however, and begins to look into the strange phenomenon. But then something even stranger happens: a body winds up in the sisters’ pink Caddy. The evidence begins to pile up and the suspicious case of Willie Fishbine, who swindled the sisters out of a fortune and coincidentally died prior to the Pines case, is reopened.
Not wanting Willie to be buried until they can find the killer responsible for the murders, Reagan must catch the culprit in time to walk down the aisle.
Duffy Brown has written a wonderful continuation to Demise in Denim (indeed the two books could easily be read one after another as they are that seamless!) At the end of the previous book (the aforementioned Demise in Denim) Reagan Summerside and Walker Boone got engaged and that is where this starts, but within a couple of pages Reagan and her Aunt KiKi are off to a funeral, Walker is moving into Reagan's house and it gets madder and more fun from there on in with undercover work by KiKi and Reagan's mother, Reagan's neighbours getting arrested and released (thank you Walker Boone!) and of course the wonderful Bruce Willis is there as well. 5 well deserved stars!
NB – I was lucky enough to be granted an ARC by NetGalley and therefore reviewed before general release!
