It’s feast or famine for Southern P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney in her latest adventure in Carolyn Haines’ award-winning mystery series.

Sarah Booth’s just about had it…until her friend, Tinkie, convinces her to leave her worldly concerns behind and join her for a vacation. Is there anything a posh spa and cooking school can’t cure?
