Curtain Call - Paperback

by Denise Grover Swank (Author)

The fourth book in the USA Today bestselling Magnolia Steele Mystery series.

Magnolia Steele has nothing left to lose. Her once-beloved father has been unmasked as a criminal, her mother is dead, and her two closest allies-her boyfriend and her sister-in-law-have broken her trust. Worse, the serial killer who has tormented her since her return to Franklin has escalated his behavior. Everyone around her encourages her to run away or hide, but Magnolia is determined stand her ground. She intends to identify the serial killer herself, even if she has to burn every last bridge to do it.

Her one lead is the apparent link between her father and the murders. Unsure of whom to trust, she forms a temporary alliance with a detective who's on the outs with the Franklin police force. Together, they dig into the past for clues, but Magnolia doesn't limit herself to secondary sources. Her father is still in town, very intent on a reunion, and her brother might finally be ready to talk about their shared past...

As the situation escalates, Magnolia discovers that she has inherited her mother's steel backbone. It will help her distinguish friend from foe, and it might just be her best hope for surviving her curtain call.
