Lowcountry Book Club: A Liz Talbot Mystery: 5

Somebody pushed Shelby Poinsett out her second-story library window. The Charleston police waste no time arresting her husband. Isn't it always the husband?Maybe not...Charleston's most prestigious law firm is betting newlywed private investigators Liz Talbot and Nate Andrews can prove Clint Gerhardt didn't kill his wife-before his trial begins. But the deeper they dig, the more they suspect the woman everyone adored, the book-club president who rescued animals and volunteered at the homeless shelter, wasn't quite as perfect as she seemed.To keep an innocent man out of prison and a killer from walking free, Liz and Nate work every rung of Lowcountry society-from the shelter where Shelby gave her time to the hundred-year-old Ashley Cooper Book Club, where the city's genteel ladies are, quite literally, dying to get in.Behind their polished manners, every one of these women is hiding something-and one of those secrets is the thread that unravels everything. In Boyer's authentic Southern voice, Lowcountry Book Club serves up Charleston charm with a twisty mystery that leaves readers guessing until the very end.
