Attorney Sophie Maxwell has come to Savannah to be with her new husband, Will. But nothing throws cold water on a hot relationship faster than a dead body. Worse for Sophie, no one believes the body she knows she saw is real. Fortunately, Sophie has a good friend in Faith Fairchild. With teenage Amy being bullied by mean girls and husband Tom contemplating a major life change that will affect all the Fairchilds, Faith is eager for distraction in the form of some sleuthing. In between discussions of newlywed agita, surprising Savannah customs and, of course, fabulous low country food, Faith and Sophie will pair up to unmask a killer!

      After a whirlwind courtship, Sophie, a no-nonsense attorney, marries Will, a private investigator from a wealthy Southern family, and they move to Savannah. There, Sophie accepts a partnership with her father-in-law's law firm while Will works on a strangely urgent case in Atlanta. Tanya Eby's skilled narration captures Sophie's alarm when a co-worker dies mysteriously, Will disappears, and a dead body falls from a bedroom wardrobe, only to vanish before police arrive. That's when Sophie calls on her close friend, Faith, a minister's wife and part-time detective, for help. Eby's portrayal of Will's spiteful stepsister, Patty Sue, who tricks Sophie into making a fool of herself at Sophie's coming-out ball is realistic in a story more about historic places and Southern food than solving a mystery.

      In Agatha-winner Page’s agreeable 23rd Faith Fairchild mystery, lawyer Sophie Maxwell joins her new husband, PI Will Maxwell, whom she met in Maine in 2015’s The Body in the Birches, in Savannah, Ga., his hometown. In a scene reminiscent of Rebecca, Will reacts violently when Sophie retrieves his deceased grandmother’s dress from the attic of his family’s house. Sophie then stumbles over a body that promptly vanishes, so that everyone believes she has imagined it or has seen an apparition. Next, she’s shoved into a storage room missing an interior latch. In addition, Will’s beautiful ex-girlfriend, Laura Belvedere, seems to still be in the picture, and Sophie begins to suspect that the deaths of Will’s wealthy grandmother and a colleague are suspicious. Faith, Sophie’s sleuthing caterer friend, flies to the rescue. Though readers may wish Sophie displayed more of a backbone, they will enjoy this entry in which danger—and clues—turn up in unexpected places. Agent: Faith Hamlin, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates.
