✦ Synopsis
Claire Guthrie shoots and wounds her husband the same night that Florence Dodson, Kelly O'Connell's former neighbor, supposedly falls down her back steps, hits her head, and dies. Kelly knows it's murder, but she has a hard time convincing Mike Shandy. She also has a hard time explaining why she gave Claire refuge in her guest apartment.
But then with another murder, it's clear someone is targeting elderly women in Fairmount, and panic invades the neighborhood. Jim Guthrie dies in an automobile accident—or was it an accident? Kelly's real estate business plunges. Who buys a house in a neighborhood with a serial killer?
And in the midst of it all, Kelly's mom decides to move to Fort Worth from Chicago. Will Kelly solve her differences with Mike? Will Claire be convicted of murder? Will Kelly's mom be safe and yet not dependent on her? And most important, will Kelly be able to identify the serial killer and restore peace to her Fairmount neighborhood?
