This should be an ecstatic time in attorney Sophie Maxwell's life. She has just moved to Savannah after marrying the love of her life, Will. She quickly finds a job and the couple start house hunting. Sophie starts to get comfortable in Savannah with its love of parties, wonderful weather, friendly people and lots of preserved history. But all is not perfect. There's an ex-girlfriend on the scene who hints that maybe Sophie doesn't know all she thinks she does about Will. Will does seem to have secrets, as do many of his wealthy, well-connected family. His job takes him out of town, leaving Sophie on her own. The worst is when she opens the wardrobe in her bedroom one night and a man's body falls out. By the time she summons help, the body is gone. Did she imagine it as everyone wants her to think?
Her best friend, Faith Fairchild, a minister's wife and caterer in New England, has her own problems. A neighbor seems to have a problem that is straining her health, but won't share her burden. Faith's husband is thinking about a career change which would mean a family move. Worst, her teenage daughter is having issues at school that are changing her sunny personality. The two friends commiserate over the phone, but the problems keep them from getting together in person. Can everything be resolved?
This is the twenty-third mystery in the Faith Fairchild series. Fans of the series will enjoy another visit with Faith, while becoming acquainted with her new heroine, Sophie. There is lots of history, food and city tidbits about Savannah and of course, recipes from Faith's catering business. This book is recommended for mystery readers.
