Soon, they're on case…and the Hibiscus Pointe book club is the perfect cover for their investigation.

But one menacing member has Dorothy and Summer bookmarked for the morgue. If the Ladies Smythe and Westin don't nab the killer fast, the Hibiscus Pointe book club may be reading their obituaries next. See how Summer and Dorothy first teamed up in Cardiac Arrest, available now!
