Tight As a Tick

Laura Fleming and her husband Richard are back in Byerly, North Carolina and Laura thinks it's going to be a relaxed trip. But before they're even unpacked, Aunt Maggie is telling them about last weekend's murder of Carney Alexander, a dealer at Byerly's popular Tight as a Tick flea market.
Among his fellow dealers, Carney had a well-earned reputation as a blackmailing, two-timing, double-dealing extortionist. Yet which one of them could be driven so hopping mad as to carve him up with one of his own collectible knives? While clues accumulate like treasures in the attic, and Aunt Maggie runs for cover, Laura finds herself in possession of evidence that will expose a killer who is ready to strike again.

A smart, sassy and thoroughly engaging new chapter in the irresistible adventures of Laura Fleming, Tight As A Tick crackles with wry wit, infectious Southern charm, and surprises sure to keep mystery lovers guessing until the very end.
