Killer Tied - Lesley Diehl A
Eve Appel Egret is adjusting to married life with Sammy and their three adopted sons in Sabal Bay, Florida. While still running her consignment stores, she is going pro with her sleuthing by becoming an apprentice to a private detective. Until her marriage, Eve's only 'family' was her grandmother Grandy, who raised her after her parents died in a boating accident. Now, in addition to her husband and sons, she has a father-in-law who clearly dislikes her. Sammy's father, a full-blooded Miccosukee Indian long presumed dead, has emerged from the swamps where he's been living like a hermit, and he isn't happy about Eve's marriage to his half-Miccosukee, half-white son. As for Eve's family, are her parents really dead? A woman named Eleanor claims to be Eve's half-sister, born after her mother faked a boating accident to escape her abusive husband, Eve's father. Then Eleanor's father turns up dead in the swamps, stabbed by a Bowie knife belonging to Sammy's father, Lionel. Strange as Lionel Egret is, Eve knows he had no motive to kill this stranger. In order to clear him, Eve must investigate Eleanor's claims, and she might not like what digging around in her family's past uncovers. Book 6 in the Eve Appel Mystery series.
