Birds of a Feather

Petite fours, lemon drops and a deadly stabbing normally don't go together, especially at a colonial high tea. Private investigator, Deena Powers, is back in Four Creeks to attend the Annual Colonial Tea put on by her aunt's chapter of Women of Colonial Heritage. When Aunt Madge's closest friend is discovered with a knife in her back, Deena finds herself drawn into a tangled web of misappropriated funds, adultery and long-held secrets. An unlikely cast of characters become ensnarled in the investigation, leading Deena to discover that the sins of the past are never left behind, no matter how carefully the trail is covered up. Helping Lieutenant Avis "Buzz" Walker acquire vital evidence leads to rekindled feelings, but when a killer steps in, it might just be too late.
