Product Description
The last place police Detective Porter Sienna wanted to investigate a murder was the upper class neighborhood where she grew up ... A prominent local businessman is found dead at the Greensburg Country Club and when detective Porter Sienna arrives to investigate, the former debutante is forced to contend with the same people she turned her back on seven years earlier. While at the club, Porter encounters Elaine Jessup, an enigmatic member whose frank appraisal and direct approach in asking her out both confuses and excites her. Giving in to her own attraction, Porter agrees to have drinks with Elaine, and the result is the beginning of a passionate affair unlike anything she has ever known. When it is revealed that the death was not natural, Porter unwillingly finds herself investigating the possibility that someone in the elite inner circle of Greensburg society has committed murder. And Porter is disturbed to discover that not only is Elaine among the suspects, but she has unexpected ties to the dead man that make her a very strong one. |

Good novel  5 Stars
October 29, 2000
This is a good mystery and not bad romance either. The settings are interesting and she makes the less important characters seems as real as the main ones. I'd recommend reading this one!

Good mystery with romance to boot! 5 Stars
September 20, 2000
When I started this book, I wasn't expecting the romance between Porter and Elaine to be quite so hot. After all, it's a murder mystery. But not only is the romance a sizzler, the mystery really kept my attention and kept me guessing. I'm guessing Leslie Adams knows the country club set fairly well, because the realism in the scenes was great. Not only that, but the convoluted relationships among the characters was exactly how life seems to be among the southern upper class! The ending was definitely not what I expected, but I hope the "debutante detective" has a lot more stories to tell, because this one left me waiting impatiently for the next book ... in all WOW!
