Book no. 4 in the must-have Lily Bard Mystery series, from the bestselling author behind TRUE BLOOD

Shakespeare, Arkansas, is home to endless back roads, historic buildings, colourful residents - and the occasional murder. It's also home to Lily Bard, karate expert and cleaning lady, who has a particular knack for finding skeletons in closets.

When Deedra Dean - a local woman of ill repute - is murdered, there are more than a few suspects. And being familiar with Deedra's dirty laundry could make Lily the next Shakespeare resident to die ...
