More about the book
In the City of Brotherly Love, Emmie Cade, a young widow with a mysterious past, quickly becomes engaged to wealthy bachelor Leo Fairchild. As their wedding approaches, Leo's mother, the domineering Claire Fairchild, receives anonymous letters hinting at dark secrets surrounding Emmie, particularly involving the violent deaths of men in her life. Amanda Pepper, a teacher at Philly Prep who also works as a private investigator with former homicide detective C.K. Mackenzie, is hired by Claire to uncover the truth about Emmie. At thirty-two, Emmie has changed her name and address frequently, leaving no clues to her past. For Amanda, teaming up with C.K. offers an exciting break from her teaching challenges and the stress of meeting her own in-laws. Determined to prove her investigative skills, Amanda soon finds herself entangled in a present-day murder case rather than just uncovering Emmie’s secrets. This brilliantly plotted tale is both perceptive and engaging, showcasing the wit and charm that have made the series a standout in the mystery genre.
