Greedy Bones — Carolyn Haines

Hollywood actress Sarah Booth Delaney returns to her Southern hometown to perform some serious sleuthing in this often hilarious, occasionally steamy, and always charming
novel from Carolyn Haines.

Sarah is no stranger to drama. So when this talented actress and P.I. hears that her best friend's husband is suddenly on his death bed back home, she snaps into "Action!" and gets right on the case...

Turns out others in Zinnia, Mississippi have fallen prey to the illness as well. The folks from the Centers for Disease Control are on the scene, but they can't find a cure for it...or for the boll weevils that are decimating Sunflower County's cotton crop. With patients in quarantine and the whole town in crisis, Sarah will go out on a limb to stop the outbreak -- and try to save the only place she's been proud enough to call home.
