MURDER IN THE CHARLESTON MANNER
—A Southern Mystery
Second in the Sheila Travis series
Author: Patricia Sprinkle

Sheila Travis ruefully agrees when dispatched by her colorful Aunt Mary to Charleston to investigate several mysterious accidents at the historic home of Mary's childhood friends. However, Sheila can't help remembering what her dad always said about his sister: "Trouble follows that woman like fleas follow a dog."

Sheila's hostesses are such gracious purveyors of Southern hospitality that Sheila has to keep reminding herself this is not a social visit. Even if she is initially inclined to write the accidents off as coincidence, the first murder changes her mind. The second begins to unearth dark secrets amidst the roses and honeysuckle. Wills and family history come under close scrutiny as Sheila closes in on a killer . . . unwittingly putting herself in deadly danger.

"The reissue of MURDER IN THE CHARLESTON MANNER, Patricia Houck Sprinkle's classic Southern mystery, is a cause for celebration. Long hidden secrets exact a deadly toll in a mystery as elegantly wrought as Charleston's famous iron gates. Sheila Travis is a clever and genuine sleuth with charm and grit. Superb."
—Carolyn Hart, author of the Bailey Ruth Raeburn ghost series.

PATRICIA SPRINKLE draws on her deep Southern roots to write three Southern mystery series. For a complete list of titles, see www.patriciasprinkle.com. She now lives in Oregon, and when she's not writing, likes to read, swim, work with children, and do nothing.
