Life for Joy, Whitney, and Anna rapidly spirals out of control. Within hours, the only fisher-woman at the derby is found crammed in her ex-husband's smoker. Even though Ronnie's less-than-sparkling personality offers up a voluminous number of suspects, her on-again-off-again relationship with the ex makes him the leading suspect. But was it possible for the 110-pounds-soaking-wet man to lift the 180-pound woman without help?That night, another murder-also a tournament competitor, and an officer in the bank.
