Part 5 of the Country Club Murders series
Ellison Russell wanted a decorator, not a corpse. Too bad she finds Mrs. White in the study killed with a revolver. Things go from bad to worse when she finds Mr. White in the dining room killed with a candlestick. With so many bodies, is it any wonder Detective Anarchy Jones's new partner considers Ellison a suspect? With the country club gossips talking a mile a minute, an unexpected cocktail party, a visit from Aunt Sis, and a romantic decision, Ellison hardly has time to think about murder. Unfortunately, the killer has plenty of time to think about her.

A killer is calling, and Ellison's life is on the line.
Ellison Russell is planning the event of the season-and she's stressed. Why not yoga?
Because the yoga instructor gets murdered during class-and Ellison's stress level rises exponentially. Now, in addition to raising a ridiculous amount of money, she's babysitting a deranged cat (named after the devil himself), taking ten million phone calls (most of them from Mother), and finding more bodies (they're popping up like dandelions after a spring rain).
There's no such thing as balance when the killer makes it personal. Can Ellison catch a murderer or will her next namaste be her last?
