Synopsis

For as long as Magnolia Steele can remember, the past has had its hooks in her. Her time as a Broadway actress in New York City was an escape that ended in public humiliation, but now that she's back home in Franklin, Tennessee, she's feeling the grip of the two incidents that stole her innocence. The first was the disappearance of her father when she was a teen, who left home for a meeting and never came back. The other incident . . . well, her memories have returned, but it's best left where it belongs—in the past.

Hoping for closure, Magnolia decides to look into her daddy's cold case. Though the town gossips are convinced he ran away with his client's wife and money, she has always suspected foul play. Talking to a few of his old acquaintances seems harmless enough—until the man she's arranged to meet turns up dead. There's evidence someone murdered him to keep him quiet, and she realizes that whatever conspiracy her father was mixed up in is far from over; it's entering its second act.

I love mysteries and when you find a great mystery, it sucks to have to wait in between them to find out more. We get some closure in this book but Magnolia is still getting into trouble and causing chaos wherever she goes. She's like a walking tornado and she just leaves a path of destruction behin......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on September 15, 2017

Only took me 6 months to finish this one because, life. Act Two just moved really slow. Denise's writing was still fun and witty, but the plot was super frustrating and repetitive. Overall, not as good as book one, but I am optimistic that it will pick back up in the next installment.......more
