The Nosey Neighbor - Dianne Harman - Bog

Della's sister, Sophia, comes to Clover to help Della discover why the FBI wants to investigate the hit and run case in which Della's husband was the victim, but the accident occurred over a year ago. Neither Della nor Sophia expect to help solve a possible murder mystery at the same time they're looking into the hit and run case. When a man is hated by everyone, and his wife doesn't shed a tear when she learns that James, her husband, died in a car accident that may not have been an accident, red flags go up. Della had been told that strange sounds were often heard coming from their house, and Sophia is certain James' wife is a victim of domestic abuse. Then she and Sophia learn of other things that make them wonder if James' wife really knew much about her husband. She certainly didn't know two of the people he worked with who had serious issues with him. He had a fight with one of them while they were at work and the other one had been a victim of domestic abuse. After she saw James' wife, she thought James was an abuser. Could those be motives for the suspicious death of James? And his wife has met a man on her daily walks who is more than happy to help her out with yard work the day after her husband died. Very convenient for the wife that her husband is no longer around. Another motive? While Sophia and Della try to find out why Seth, Della's deceased husband, had a gun she never knew about, they uncover more secrets about Seth, and everything Della believed about him is upended. Maybe Bea wasn't the only one who didn't really know her husband!
