"The charming and heartfelt follow-up to The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective, written in the vein of The Thursday Murder Club and "Only Murders in the Building," with a Southern California twist. Months after the shocking murders at Marigold Cottages, eccentric landlady Mrs. B finds the peace and quiet a little too peaceful. That's why she invites her young friend Elsa Moore to move into a now-vacant cottage: Elsa is a suspect in the death of her employer, a wealthy Santa Barbara philanthropist who tumbled down the stairs of his mansion during a dinner party. The dead man's much-younger widow claims she saw Elsa push him, but Mrs. B is certain that she's innocent. Why? Oh, just a feeling. That's enough for her to summon the Marigold Cottages Murder Collective. Lily-Ann will marshal the facts, Hamilton will dig around online, Sophie and Nicholas will offer eyewitness testimony, and everyone will hope that Ocean keeps Mrs. B out of trouble. Just as the tenants begin to suspect that Elsa is in fact guilty, there's a second murder. A bloodier one. Then they discover that Mrs. B risked the Marigold Cottages for Elsa. With their tight-knit community on the line, they must ignore their doubts and prove her innocence"-- Provided by publisher.
