Greedy Bones

Hollywood actress Sarah Booth Delaney returns to her Southern hometown to perform some serious sleuthing in this often hilarious, occasionally steamy, and always charming novel from Carolyn Haines.

Sarah is no stranger to drama. So when this talented actress and a P.I. hears that her best friends husband is suddenly on his deathbed back home, she snaps into “action!” and gets right on the case…

“The cast is in fine form…One of the more entertaining episodes in the series.”

—Booklist

Turns out others in Zinnia, Mississippi, have fallen prey to the illness as well. The folks from the Centers for Disease Control are on the scene, but they cant find a cure for it…or for the boll weevils that are decimating Sunflower Countys cotton crop. With patients in quarantine and the whole town in crisis, Sarah will go out on a limb to stop the outbreak—and try to save the only place shes been proud enough to call home.

“Captivating—readers will enjoy Greedy Bones from cranium to phalanges.”—Don Noble, Alabama Public Radio

“Wonderfully wise…infused with Southern charm.”—Publishers Weekly
