Series: Missy DuBois #4
Genre: Cozy
Publisher: Kensington Books
Website: Sandra Bretting

When Missy DuBois, a beloved hat-maker who caters to brides and their wedding parties on the Great River Road in Louisiana, tours a local construction site, she finds much more than half-painted halls and construction scaffolds.

Missy discovers the body of irascible billionaire Herbert Solomon in a back bedroom. An autopsy finds poison in the old man’s body, at the same time as a pipe bursts in Missy’s hat studio and washes away her plans for a photo shoot by a major New York bridal magazine.

Missy will have to find a killer AND keep her wits about her to avert disaster in Death Comes to Dogwood Manor, the fourth book in the Missy DuBois Mystery series.
