A secret shopper turns amateur sleuth when her best friend's husband is accused of murder in this mystery by the Anthony and Agatha Award–winning author.

Josie Marcus has an eye for the finer things in life. Unfortunately, her wallet can't keep up—as a single mom and mystery shopper, she won't be moving out of St. Louis's suburbs anytime soon. Good thing her best friend, Alyce Bohannon, doesn't mind sharing a taste of the high life in her posh gated community, Wood Winds. But the refined neighborhood turns ugly with gossip when Alyce's neighbor, the well-heeled scarf designer Halley Hardwicke, is murdered.

Talk is cheap . . . until the detectives begin questioning Alyce's husband, Jake, about the crime. So Josie decides to do a little sleuthing of her own, going undercover to unravel the secrets of the cliquey Wood Winds wives. Hopefully she can clear Jake's name and uncover the truth before the killer snags another victim.
