Died and Prejudice

Fleeing the press and the public eye after a scandalous divorce, Eliza Crumb runs home to coastal North Carolina. But these aren’t the healing waters she remembers. Someone’s poisoned the well in Story Island. A blogger calling herself Poison Penelope is choking the town with a noxious brew of shameful fact and scurrilous fiction. When the subject of a particularly venomous post turns up dead, an apparent suicide, Eliza is convinced things aren’t as they seem. Armed with old friends, a new beagle, and the Southern sass she thought she’d lost, she’ll stop at nothing to find the one antidote that can save the truth. If she can’t, this might just be where her own story ends.
