In this second in the Tupelo Grove mystery series, college professor Savannah Webster and her soon-to-be-husband-again, lawyer Hez are getting ready to take a second chance. When Savannah finds what she believes is evidence that Hez is surrendering to old habits, will the trust between them that’s begun to grow be destroyed? When he discovers her trust is wobbly, can he forgive her?
In addition to their personal issues, Savannah and Hez are working to save the university her family built, especially after Savannah is named its president. Are there still being historical artifacts sold illegally? Can they pull the school out of the canyon of debt that’s built up? What’s happened to the money that was supposed to go to student scholarships? How are Savannah’s sister and father involved? Or are they?
Acker and Coble have created a series with well-developed characters with their own foibles and fears, strengths and intelligence. There are lots of twists, turns and corners as they try to untangle the mysteries in the second book in this series.
