Death and Consequences - Large Print Edition - Thomas, Cheril

. .

Résumé :
Death and Consequences Only one person knows the whole truth and she'd rather die than tell. Natalie Wilkens has plenty to gossip about, but for years her favorite target has been the family next door. Fate hasn't been kind to Natalie's victims and now only the youngest daughter remains in the big house on Americus Street. Heartsick, lonely, and desperate for a new life, Ellender York wants to leave Mallard Bay, but three things stand in her way. She can handle her late sister's obsessive boyfriend and Natalie' persistent bullying, but now the police are interested-too interested-in her plans. It should be an easy case, and attorney Grace Reagan is ready for something easy. Ellender will be the last client before Grace goes on maternity leave, an event that has more in common with a boxing match than the fairytale Grace wants. She's in love with a good man, having a baby with a not-so-good one, losing her house, and being phased out of her job. Ellender's problems provide a much needed distraction until everything starts to go wrong. A crime is being planned in touristy little Mallard Bay, and Ellender and Grace are right in the middle of the killer's plans. Mistakes from the past take on new life and murder is once again center stage in the touristy little town of Mallard Bay. Come back to the Eastern Shore for another round of mayhem in the Land of Pleasant Living!
