Poppy Done to Death - Charlaine Harris

In the eighth book in bestselling author Charlaine Harris''s compelling mystery series, Aurora ''Roe'' Teagarden will have to use all of her southern wiles to investigate a murder within her own family . . .

Not just any woman in Lawrenceton, Georgia, gets to be a member of the Uppity Women Book Club. But Roe''s stepsister-in-law, Poppy, has climbed her way up the waiting list - only to die on the day she''s supposed to be inducted.

What makes Poppy''s murder even worse are the rumours of infidelity, on both sides of the marriage, swirling around town. To find the killer, Roe must determine if the sordid stories are true. Suspects abound, and the things she uncovers make her question her own heart, but her passion for the truth drives her on - into the path of the cold-blooded killer . . .
