It’s a harmless pastime until the night she finds a member killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal ‘copycat’ killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects or potential victims.

Roe never liked Detective Sergeant Jack Burns, but she never wanted to see him dead especially not dropped from a plane right into her own backyard. Luckily, even Lawrenceton, Georgia’s, finest know that Roe couldn’t possibly be in two places at once, so her name is crossed off the suspect list. But then other strange things happen around Roe, ranging from peculiar her irascible cat turns up wearing a pink ribbon to violent her assistant at the library is attacked to potentially deadly her former lover is stabbed. Clearly there is a personal message in this madness that Roe must decipher before it is too late…

The next is the arrival of Martin’s flighty niece Regina, who shows up unannounced with a baby no one knew she was expecting. Before anyone can figure out what’s going on, Regina disappears, leaving behind her baby and her husband, Craig, whose brutally murdered corpse is discovered on the outside steps of Roe and Martin’s home. Now the existence of the baby is only the first question of many such as, Where did Craig come from? Who went after him with the ax? And why?
