    About this ebook

    Paisley Sterling has no idea of the trouble she's getting into when she and her teenaged daughter are called home for a family funeral. Paisley's mother, the elegant and stylish Anna Howard Sterling is delighted when they decide to extend their visit after Paisley's New York townhouse is rented out from under her. Things are going well until Anna discovers she has been cheated out of a sizable inheritance. Convinced that her favorite cousin was murdered, she decides to seek revenge by persuading Paisley to assume the persona of the intrepid Leonard Paisley, hard-boiled detective and write a fictitious expose of the crime. Leonard's novel is a huge success and life on Meadowdale Farm couldn't be happier -- until the thinly veiled accusations in the book provoke a lawsuit. Faced with financial ruin, mother, daughter and granddaughter fight to protect the home that has been in their family for generations by unmasking the real killer...
