The Blackbird sisters are back—and as witty and
wonderful as ever!
Word arrives that the Blackbird sisters’ larger-than-life great aunt
Madeleine has died in a volcanic eruption on an Indonesian island and
left her fabulous estate, worth millions, to the three of them. But when
Nora, Libby, and Emma show up to claim their windfall, they find the
house in a state of decay and all of Madeleine’s to-die-for treasures gone.
Worse, the mansion has been hiding a grisly secret—the body of a woman
who died there many years ago. Now it’s up to Nora, her irrepressible
sisters, and her mobster boyfriend Mick to uncover the truth.
Praise for Nancy Martin’s “thoroughly entertaining” (Jane Heller) series:
“Great clothes, great mystery, great fun!”
—53—
—New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Crusie
“Clever, good-humored, and sharply observed.”
