A New York Times Bestseler The Ducote sisters are in a tiff with Vera Cassity over the location of this year's library fundraiser, and librarian Charlie Harris would rather stay out of the fray. Everyone — even his housekeeper Azalea — has it in for Vera. And at the gala, she gives them good reason with a public display of rancor. Then Charlie discovers Azalea standing over Vera's dead body, and it's up to him — with a little help from his Maine coon cat, Diesel — to clear Azalea's name.
