Charlie and his fiancée, Helen Louise Brady—plus Diesel the cat, of course—are heading to Asheville, North Carolina to spend a week at a boutique hotel with a mystery reader's club. When an intrusive, uninvited guest turns up dead, only one club member appears to have a motive to kill. But in this 13th case (after Careless Whiskers), could the answer really be that simple? Charlie and Diesel, along with the detecting Ducote sisters, know that every murder plot has an unexpected twist, and they intend to unravel it.
