![]() ![]() ![]() The murder of Giles Norton, husband of another Brown offshoot and the son of prominent vintners, puts everyone at Seven Sisters at risk. Matters come to a head when the extended families dine together at the Browns' ancestral stronghold, Seven Sisters Ranch. Benni isn't certain how to react when Lydia Ortiz, Sam's mother and Gabe's first wife, arrives to discuss the domestic crisis. Benni fears that her husband, Gabe Ortiz, the town's police chief, will disapprove-and that so will Bliss's socially and politically prominent family, the Browns. Benni's 19-year-old stepson, Sam Ortiz, confides in her that he and his pregnant girlfriend, Bliss Girard, a rookie cop in the San Celina, Calif., police department, want to marry. Conflicting family loyalties and the burdens of the past lie at the heart of the engrossing seventh novel from four-time Agatha Award nominee Fowler to feature amateur sleuth Benni Harper. ![]()
