"Biscuit and Bob are enjoying their honeymoon at a small hotel near Savannah, until Margaret Casperson, a wealthy friend from Martinsville, collapses against their door in the middle of the night. Why would anyone want to poison dear Margaret? Officer Colly Sloan, who sometimes wishes she were a plumber instead of a police officer, is tracking the long-lost cousin Margaret came to Savannah to find. Who we are is so often linked to family issues that span generations. This story takes us through the intricate weavings and dark secrets of several generations of the wealthy Holvers family. Biscuit and Bob are pulled into a life and death struggle. Of course, Marmalade, the orange & white tabby cat who adopted Biscuit in the first book in this series, Orange as Marmalade, manages to get in her two-cents' worth. Unknowingly, Marmalade's antics put Biscuit in grave danger."--Amazon.com.… (more)

Sadly, I was disappointed in this book just as I was with the first book in the series. This book also felt disjointed and was hard to follow, both chronologically and genealogically (since I can't come up with a more accurate word!). It jumped back and forth between the present (1996) and the past (1947) and multiple points in between, with characters who were extremely hard to keep sorted out despite the "cast list" at the front of the book. IF I stumble across the third book I will probably read it, but I will not go out of my way to find it.

What I find amusing is that in her acknowledgments, the author thanks a friend for the advice that "at least a little bit of chronological order would truly help." She seems to have ignored this advice completely, so I don't know why she thanked the friend! ( )
