When Kate Spencer learns her aunt's fiancé is two-timing her with an old rival, she has no choice but to pass along the information to her mother, who promptly informs her sister what a cad the man is. They are as shocked as the rest of the town when the rival turns up dead and the two-timing fiancé disappears. Worse yet, an anonymous call places her aunt at the scene of the crime. Complicating matters, the lead investigator on the case turns out to be Kate's old boyfriend. Though he has a hard time believing the woman who once marched in front of his school carrying a 'save the frogs' sign is capable of murder, he has to consider her aunt his prime suspect. Can the trio find the killer before Kate's aunt is arrested for murder? Are they putting their own lives in danger by investigating the crime? A Talent for Murder is a cozy, southern mystery filled with humor and colorful characters, with a touch of romance thrown in for added fun.
