Till Death Do Us Plot

A Book Club Small Town Cozy Mystery

When Claudia Renner stumbles into the Bound & Determined Book Club's discussion of Wuthering Heights, spilling wine and accusations in equal measure, Maryanne Silva and Gretchen Roe assume it's just another small-town scandal in the making. But when Claudia is found murdered in her office the next morning—struck down with a marble bookend shaped like the scales of justice—the two best friends realize their quiet Thursday evening has become the prelude to murder.

As Maryanne and Gretchen dig into Claudia's past, they discover a trail of destroyed marriages, manipulated evidence, and secrets that go far deeper than anyone suspected. The ruthless attorney made a career out of winning at any cost, coaching witnesses to lie and fabricating evidence to guarantee victory. Now someone has decided to settle the score—permanently.

In Franklin's Crossing, everyone knows everyone. But not everyone knows the truth about what happens behind closed doors.
