Revenge And Gravy — John Shivers

Maudeann Holcombe is the instigator of the community grapevine in Crabapple Cove, Georgia. It's a responsibility she sandwiches in between waiting tables at the Eat & Greet, where she feeds all manner of appetites. For Mags Gordon, real estate broker at Mountain Magic Realty by Mags, and unofficial, unlicensed, unsanctioned private detective, the server who has never missed a meal herself, is as much a thorn in the side as she is Mags' saving grace. When Maudeann suddenly goes missing under mysterious circumstances, everyone is concerned. When she resurfaces with a new and deadly, dastardly personality, no one can believe it. Even her death only compounds the rumors and the facts of the case. Enter Mags and Carole, private eyes extraordinaire, who must set their mouths just right, if they plan to expose the plot that would have permanently removed Maudeann from them. A prospect whose value Mags must debate within herself.
