Legal Mystery. Charming, sassy trial attorney Lilly Cleary tackles another wacky only-in-Florida case: an orange grower sues environmental activists for saying the local fruit is toxic due to phosphate pollution. She also faces multiple personal issues as her born-again brother visits from Georgia and her homeless 80-year-old handyman moves in with her. Things get even more explosive when she watches one client die in a bombing and it's revealed that another has a criminal record for making bombs (and he's the one she has a crush on). Publishers Weekly calls this 3rd in the series (after Skinny-Dipping and Wildcat Wine) an "entertaining...intricate tale." Fans of Florida mysteries will relish this legal look at the state.

Mystery. Forbidden love between a small town's Anglican priest and married police chief? Fans of the series know this describes Reverend Clare Fergusson and policeman Russ van Alstyne's relationship. And the news finally goes public in this searing entry when Russ and his wife split up. Days later, however, Russ learns that his wife has been murdered and that he's the prime suspect. Clare risks everything to find the real culprit before she loses Russ--and he loses his freedom--forever. This well-reviewed 5th in the series features hairpin plot twists that keep readers guessing; newcomers can start here, but to see the relationship evolve you might want to start with the 1st book, In the Bleak Midwinter.
