Law and Author by Erika Chase

The author of Book Fair and Foul reconvenes the Ashton Corners book club to solve a murder in their own backyard . . .

Bob Miller, retired police chief and member of the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straws Society, is stunned by the arrival of his twenty-one-year-old granddaughter, Darla, whom he has never seen. Bob has been estranged from his own daughter for decades and hopes to make up for his absence in Darla's life. But some of the ladies of the book club find their Southern hospitality strained as they question the motives behind this sudden reunion.

After a dead man is found in Molly Mathews's backyard, their concerns grow more serious. Lizzie Turner saw Darla arguing with the stranger the day before, but when the police question her, Darla proves to be an unreliable narrator. It's up to the book club to uncover the real story . . . before another victim is written into the plot.

Erika Chase used to operate a mystery bookstore and has talked to a number of book clubs in that capacity, cheerfully suggesting authors and series. Her own book club considers chocolate to be on par with the novels they discuss. Her short stories have appeared in anthologies and journals, and she has been nominated for awards for them. She's worked as an ad copywriter, journalist, community educator, and a long-time volunteer with the local police force. She lives with her two Siamese cats at their home.
