Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B35795
English Summary/英文概要： For military wife and professional organizer Ellie Avery, the hardest thing about hosting her husband Mitch’s rambunctious Southern family reunion is remembering everyone’s name. But this summer, her backyard bash is shadowed by menace after a killer shows up without an invitation…
Before the last slice of peach pie is served, the family festivities are cut short by news that Mitch’s squadron commander has been strangled—and the prime suspect is his wife Denise, Ellie’s close friend and fellow knitting enthusiast. That same day, Ellie and the rest of the sleepy little town of North Dawkins, Georgia, are shocked to learn that one of Mitch’s cousins—a fitness fanatic who’s in town for the party—narrowly missed being shot when he collapsed during his daily workout. Everyone agrees that the bullet was a stray from hunters nearby…but to Ellie the close call is as suspicious as a possum in a persimmon tree.
As the humidity rises, so does the danger. Ellie uncovers strange clues that point to a sinister and deadly plan…and the possibility that someone wants to ground her pilot husband, Mitch--permanently. In between outdoor walks with the Mom Stroller Brigade, drumming up clients for her organizing business, and trying out new recipes for Southern-style barbecue, Ellie must unravel a mystery that grows more perplexing every day. Because if she doesn’t, Mitch’s afternoon jog just may turn out to be a run for his life….
Don’t miss Ellie Avery’s great tips for busy, budget-minded moms!

Awards/获奖情况：In Rosett’s nifty fifth Ellie Avery mystery (after 2009’s Magnolias, Moonlight, and Murder), the strangulation murder of Col. Lewis Pershall shocks everyone at Taylor Air Force Base in North Dawkins, Ga. The popular Pershall was Ellie’s husband Mitch’s squadron commander. The victim’s frantic wife, alarmed that she might be considered a suspect, asks amateur sleuth Ellie for help. As Ellie investigates, she discovers that Mitch and a cousin of his have also been targeted by someone with evil intent, each man having received an odd squadron coin from an anonymous source. Threatening letters to Pershall from an angry, troublemaking air force widow suggest she might be the culprit, but Ellie also suspects two jealous fellow officers of Pershall’s. Fans of TV’s Air Force Wives will especially appreciate Ellie, a smart crime solver who successfully navigates the challenges of military life. (Apr.) ---From Publishers Weekly
