Dead Ringer

A puzzling corpse stirs up trouble for a Boston woman visiting her Southern hometown in this cozy mystery by a New York Times–bestselling author.

A Burnette family gathering is no small affair, thanks to Laura Fleming's ever-extending extended clan. Being back in Byerly, North Carolina, gives Laura and her scholarly husband a chance to catch up on gossip about old rivalries and rekindled romances. New love is in the air too, though uncharitable kinfolk speculate that cousin Thaddeous's girlfriend, mill receptionist Joleen, has an ulterior motive for dating him.

Byerly's mill has long been the town's lifeblood, but when Laura arrives to try and fix Joleen's faulty PC, she finds that death has just paid a visit. A stranger's body lies on the office floor, and the victim bears a striking resemblance to Big Bill Walters. Did the mill's founder have a doppelganger, or was someone in Byerly's first family spreading wild oats? Laura isn't planning to get involved—she's busy trying to help Aunt Daphine, who's being blackmailed over a decades-old secret. But the twin mysteries will have other deadly repercussions, unless Laura can see through a killer's disguise . . .
