The Darling Dahlias and the Texas Star by Susan Wittig Albert
National bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert returns to the small town of Darling, Alabama, in the 1930s--where the ladies of the Darling Dahlias garden club are anything but shrinking violets when it comes to rooting out criminals. The Texas Star herself--Miss Lily Dare, the fastest woman in the world--is bringing her Dare Devils Flying Circus to Darling. Unfortunately, she's also bringing a whole lot of trouble. As the Dahlias prepare for the annual Watermelon Festival--where they will present the famous female aviatrix with her own Texas Star hibiscus--rumors are flying. Dahlias president Liz Lacy learns that Miss Dare has been threatened and her plane sabotaged. Apparently the bold and beautiful barnstormer has made plenty of enemies. And is it possible she may be involved with the husband of one of Darling's local ladies? As the Texas Star barnstorms into town, Liz and Verna Tidwell offer to help bring down a saboteur who may be propelled by revenge. Before it's all over, there will be plenty of black eyes and dark secrets revealed. INCLUDES SOUTHERN-STYLE DEPRESION-ERA RECIPES
