Green as a Garden Hose — Fran Stewart

A day of hiking turns deadly for Martinsville, Georgia, librarian Biscuit McKee when a woman plunges to her death right before her eyes. Looking down forty feet above the broken body, Biscuit recognizes the vibrant green shirt and its wearer. Diane Marie Ames was the kind of Georgia peach who was more sour than sweet: beautiful, wealthy, spoiled and uppity. Biscuit didn't like the woman -- but she didn't wish her dead.

Did Diane Marie jump...or was she pushed? The mystery intrigues Biscuit and her devoted feline companion, Marmalade. While Biscuit's new husband, the town cop, investigates, his wife and her sidekick do some snooping. Diane Marie's diary reveals a woman living in fear; some shocking and deeply buried town secrets; and one very odd coincidence -- Martinsville has three women named Diane Marie. And, as Biscuit discovers to her own peril, it's a name to die for.
