Too Late for Angels

DIVINE INTERVENTION

Lucy Nan Pilgrim has lived her entire life in Stone's Throw, South Carolina, a place where nothing much happens, not even trouble. So when something bad does happen, everybody remembers -- like the time a little girl disappeared sixty years ago. Now it seems little Florence is back, old and crazy, knocking on Lucy's door asking for her mama. Before Lucy can start making sense of it all, the elderly woman is murdered.

Trouble strikes again when a wealthy matron takes a fatal fall. Something evil is going on in this sleepy Southern town, which is why Augusta Goodnight, armed with strawberry muffins, and a heavenly talent for clearing up mortal mysteries, appears at Lucy's door. But as a third body falls, even the angelic Augusta may be too late to save Lucy from a killer prepared to silence anyone getting too close to some nasty secrets in Stone's Throw.
