# 66 Law and Author

Law and Author by Erika Chase is the latest in the Aston Corners mystery series. I read this one out of order; Book Fair and Foul is number 4 in the series and I still have that to read.

Bob's granddaughter Darla suddenly makes an appearance in Ashton Corners. Bob hasn't never met Darla and has been estranged from his daughter (Darla's mother) for years. Molly is immediately taken in by Darla's sad plight and Bob desperately wants a relationship with his granddaughter. The other members of the book club are not drawn in so easily by Darla as she tests the limits of their southern hospitality. Lizzie sees Darla arguing with a strange man and the next day the man is found murdered in Molly's backyard. Darla claims to have been assaulted by the man, but her story doesn't quite add up. Lizzie and her friends work to clear Darla's name and to find out who the stranger was before more victims turn up.

I hope there will be another book in this series before too long.
