Those Garrison Women by Louise Shaffer

In her follow-up to The Three Miss Margarets, Louise Shaffer
delivers another irresistible tale of explosive small Town secrets, women
of substance, and the power of the past to determine the future ...

Having ruled their tiny Southern town with a velvet grip for decades,
the sight of the formidable three Miss Margarets, Li'l Bit, Maggie
and Peggy, gathered on a porch is a sight that all's well with the
world, even if they are in company with the notorious Laurel Selene
McCready, a wild child from the wrong side of the tracks.
   But when Miss Peggy dies and leaves her entire fortune to Laurel,
the daughter she never had, the townsfolk are in an uproar. Not
only has a girl everyone thought would amount to nothing suddenly
becomes the wealthiest landowner in town, but she's inherited its
biggest employer, Garrison Gardens-and a whole sea of trouble.
   As Laurel struggles with the sudden responsibility for her home
town's future and the shady family lawyer's attempts to strongarm
her into signing over power of attorney, she stumbles across a dark
secret about the former first lady of Garrison Gardens, and her own
path suddenly becomes clear.
   Culminating in an unforgettable sleight-of-hand, Those Garrison
Women reminds us that behind every great fortune there is a great
crime-and an even better story.
