Tori's ex-fiance Jeff (the one who cheated on her with a close friend at their engagement party!) shows up in Sweet Briar after the sudden death of his Aunt Vera. No love is lost between Jeff, Vera's heir, and his cousin Garret, Vera's step-son, an abusive husband who expected to inherit her estate. When healthy, athletic Jeff drops dead during a jog through town it is assumed that he suffered a heart attack. Will forensic evidence point to foul play? Naturally, Tori, the jilted lover, will be one of the main suspects, but it appears that there are many other people with more compelling motives.
Casey delves just a little bit deeper into her characters and their pasts with each book in this series, and with each one the reader becomes more entrenched in the lives of the ladies of the Sweet Briar Southern Sewing Circle. I enjoyed this one even more than the previous books because I know and love the characters better with each book. I'm looking forward to the new one and to Casey's visit to our library in September!
