Joy to the Bones

In this final installment of the series, sassy Southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney is up against her biggest-and most personal-mystery yet.

Still reeling from the discovery that her parents' deaths, decades ago, might not have been an accident, Private Investigator Sarah Booth Delaney doesn't know who to believe anymore. Her best friend and business partner, Tinkie, purposefully kept her in the dark; her lover, Coleman, intentionally lied to her; and her meddlesome ghost-turned-spiritual-guide, Jitty, kept more secrets than she can count. Now, even the people Sarah Booth once trusted more than anything are suspect.

Armed with new knowledge about her parents' car crash, Sarah Booth sets out to solve her biggest case yet: her parents' murder. And she's prepared to do it alone if she has to.

But the Mississippi Delta doesn't pause for anyone, not even Sarah Booth. While trying to untangle the truth about her parents' fate, Sarah Booth gets roped into investigating the DeLonge Mansion, a magnificent old house with seemingly no one left alive to claim it. With the return of her nemesis, Gertrude Stromm, looming over her head-and the pieces of her failed relationships still scattered around her-Sarah Booth has her work cut out for her this holiday season.
