Somebody's Dead in Snellville

After her most recent foray into detection, Sheila Travis is more than happy to concentrate on her job as Director of International Relations for Hosokawa International. Unfortunately, her relative peace and quiet is short-lived. Coming home from an exhausting business trip, all Sheila wants to do is go to sleep. Instead, she is dragooned by her young neighbor. Sara Sims Tait into a Sims family dinner out in Gwinnett County. Each day, the greater metropolitan area of Atlanta moves a little further into Gwinnett County, and Sara Sims's contentious family--part upwardly mobile, part solid dirt farmers--sees big dollar signs when major developers express interest in Grandma Sims's farmland. Too bad she won't sell. Greed and anger are powerful influences, but when the murderer strikes, Grandma Sims is not the victim, and it is up to Sheila and her irrepressible, aristocratic Aunt Mary to untangle the complicated web of motives, opportunities, and relationships that connect the Sims family to murder.
