A year has passed since Caroline McCluskey's friends travelled to Magnolia Bluff for their annual retreat. During their short stay, an unknown sniper made several attempts to create chaos and ruin their trip. Caroline sent her lifelong friends home in order to protect them. In Linda Pirtle's Book 37, The Book Swap and Tea Room Murder, the would-be killer turned arsonist is still at large. Caroline finds a mysterious bouquet someone left on her front porch. The vase, filled with black and white roses, serves as the catalyst for the plot. Each rose sports a tag with a name of one of Caroline's fellow Magnolians. Black roses represent names of the deceased. White roses represent those who remain on the killer's list. A yellow cardstock piece of paper accompanied the bouquet. On it, were the words: "Your time is coming. Wait for it." Caroline teams up with her best friend Magnolia Nadine to seek justice for those who are dead and to protect those who are alive. Could the psychopath posing as the Grim Ripper be someone they know?
