From back cover:
State bridge champion Edith Whelan Burkett has been dealt a string of bad hands. Not only did her husband commit suicide, but he left here with a pile of debts and some valuable snuffboxes his will forbids her to sell. With just a her job at the public library and a thousand-acre pecan grove to sustain her, Edith is under tremendous stress. But all Edie's problems are trumped by her murder.
Once again Mac Yarbrough is in the thick of things, ready to investigate. All signs point to a man Mac believes innocent. Now she must figure out who's stacking the deck against him...
More Thoroughly Southern fun. Great series.

I pretty much figured out the murderer on this one, despite the red herrings. Still I enjoyed the characters, even if the story is not the best in the series.
