What does a Dunwoody matron wear to a funeral? Her black tennis dress.
It's no joke, however, when the funeral is given for your high school
buddy's wife, and she has been brutally murdered.
Sheila Travis, successful corporate executive and attractive fortyish
widow, has met Yvonne Delacourt once, at a party. Yvonne is stunning,
ambitious -- and intensely disliked. Under the local residents'
gracious veneer of Southern hospitality, Sheila senses their seething
antagonism to young Mrs. Delacourt.
When Yvonne is found stabbed to death, the police focus on her
husband, Walt, as the most likely suspect. Sheila sets out to clear
the pal of her youth by finding out more about those Dunwoody
residents who loathed the alluring victim. The spirited search
reveals dark secrets more carefully kept than the manicured lawns of
this exclusive enclave -- from a respected matron's double life, to a
retired couple's vile secret, to an arrogant gardener who has no
gardening tools. But the real shocker comes when Sheila, following
lurid hints about Yvonne's slippery past, arrives in the dead woman's
Florida hometown. Horrific discoveries reveal a soul-chilling evil
and elicit unexpected sympathy for Yvonne's killer.
Back in Dunwoody, Sheila finds her emotions stirred by an undeniably
appealing man with a disturbing connection to the crime. Her maverick
investigation startlingly reveals that the biggest secret of all was
Yvonne's.
