About this ebook

The second book in the four book USA Today bestselling Magnolia Steele Mystery series.

Magnolia may have escaped arrest for murder, but her troubles are far from behind her. She’s still haunted by two things from her past—her father’s disappearance when she was a teen, and the other...well, her memories of a serial killer have returned, but it’s best left where it belongs—in the past.

Needing closure, Magnolia decides to look into her father’s cold case. Though the town gossips are convinced he ran away with his client’s wife and money, she has always suspected foul play. Talking to a few of his old acquaintances seems harmless enough—until the man she’s arranged to meet turns up dead. There’s evidence someone murdered him to keep him quiet, and she realizes that whatever conspiracy her father was mixed up in is far from over; it’s entering its second act.

If Magnolia keeps digging, she’s not sure she can trust her own mother to help her, let alone her new friends and the police detective who’s eager to woo her, but after years of running, she’s ready to stand her ground.

Ratings and reviews

What I could read was great. Unfortunately the pre-order I purchased only gave me 10 pages. Guess I'll try buying it again another time to read the rest.

WOW!! I should know by now that I will always be left wanting more when reading one of Denise Grover Swank's books. Just finished Act Two and absolutely LOVED it. The story is intriguing and witty and kept me wanting more. I'm still processing everything....so many things answered, yet so many more questions. I absolutely love Magnolia. And Brady....where can I find me one. I will be impatiently waiting for the third book to come out next year.

Have you ever read a book and at the end just sat there staring? You feel satisfied with the way it went....but yet you know you that there is still so much to uncover? So many questions left to answer, but so many answered... I am not sure how to say that in a way that makes people want to read it. I guess I was left as one should be in a series - completely satisfied but wanting, begging, for more! The book picks up almost immediately after Center Stage, the flow is amazing and will having you hooked, up reading until 3a.m. even though you know you have to be up for work in 2 hours. You can't put it down! And while there is a lot left to learn about Magnolia and her past, this book addresses just enough of those questions to keep you happy, but wanting more....Of course, this is a DGS book, so the awesome is to be expected!
