Frog in the Throat

The murder of a local author has an amateur sleuth and her con artist ex-husband on the case in this mystery by the author of Last Will and Testament.

Virginia's trouble is that whenever something awful happens, it is far too easy to imagine that her ex-husband, Felix--that lying, light-fingered charmer--is behind it somehow. So her suspicions are understandably raised when he unexpectedly shows up on her weekend getaway with the Boscotts, just as her friend's engagement party is ruined by the murder of a local author.

Luckily for Virginia--not to mention the Boscotts--Felix's talent for lying makes him an expert in sniffing out other people's deceit. Now they must investigate who would want to kill a kindly writer of historical fiction. But can they truly trust Felix, or will past prove to be prologue yet again?
