About the Fiddle Dee Death
Mystery among the moonlight and the magnolias . . .
Okay, forget the magnolias. It’s the end of December, after all, and frost silvers South Carolina’s Low Country. But Pinckney Plantation is still open to visitors who want to see the pride of Indigo Island. The old house claims a long history—or so says the script the tour guides go by.
What the script leaves out are the flickering lights and the sound of ghostly footsteps. And the dead body.
The corpse is a new addition, and cousins Lindsey and Margaret Ann aren’t sure how they’re going to break the news to Miss Augusta that the body of an unknown man is lying at the foot of her attic stairs.
Who is he? And what was he doing at Pinckney? And did he fall, or was he pushed?
These are among the questions that puzzle the self-appointed detective duo, which turns into a trio when Margaret Ann’s sister, Bonnie, arrives on the scene. Can she wear green to the funeral?
As the old year slides into the new, the sleuths
turn up old bones, old photos, and, in narrator Lindsey’s case, an old flame.
Hilarious Southern manners color the revelations about ruthless developers,
secretive landowners, and family scandals as the cousins piece together the
mystery.
"Witty cozy debut....the humorous banter among the three cousins, the quaint island locale and a surprise ending lift this lighthearted romp.''
