MacLaren Yarbrough, county magistrate, business owner, wife, mother, and amateur sleuth is surprised when she finds an invitation to the elite Magnolia Ladies’ Investment Club addressed to her. She is even more surprised when at her first meeting club president, Willena Kenan, is found brutally murdered on the bathroom floor during a coffee break. With everyone out of the room at the time, every club member is under suspicion, especially when police find a mysterious trench coat full of incriminating evidence. MacLaren will put her sleuthing to the test in this cozy southern mystery.
