Publisher's Synopsis
It's time to batten down the hatches because Hurricane Gunther is expected to hit the coastal town of Quinby Haven any day now. The women of Rousseau's Retreat are scrambling to make preparations to weather the storm. And everyone is moving into the main house until the danger passes, including Ann's mother. Stress levels are on the rise.
What's more, the B&B is fully booked with a most unusual group of guests. There's the married couple that suspect each other of being unfaithful. A young woman who will do most anything for love. A travel writer who regrets his past decisions. A vet seeking shelter from the storm. And a posh woman who hates when things don't go her way. Throw into the mix an unexplained delivery, a power outage, a mystery guy snooping around and what could possibly go wrong? During the hurricane, a grim discovery is made and things definitely go sideways. How will Ann keep everyone safe? Is there any possible way the police chief will reach them in time? Or are the town's amateur sleuths on their own? With unanswered questions stacking up, it's imperative that they try to untangle the web of lies. The clock is ticking. This is a cozy mystery with female sleuths in a small-town setting. It contains no strong profanity, sex, gore or graphic scenes of violence. Book four of A Southern B&B Mystery Series is a stand-alone story and can be read as such.
