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.
Marriage and motherhood aren't enough for Deena Powers. Anxious to re-establish herself as a capable professional investigator, she opens an agency in Four Creeks where she now lives with her husband, Avis "Buzz" Walker. One of her first cases is for the Grimes Corporation, a property line dispute, simple enough, but when the CEO is killed in a plane crash, she soon learns that farming is not a tame business. While juggling life as a working mother, she finds herself drawn into the turmoil within the grieving family. And then to complicate matters, a shadow from her past reemerges, posing a threat to her and her family, and she is forced to summon the courage to do the unthinkable.
