Boutiques The Darling Dahlias and the Voodoo Lily by Albert, Susan NEUF

Spring, 1935 finds the little Alabama town of Darling excited about their new local radio station, WDAR. But there are problems brewing at the newspaper, where a trio of new hires causes headaches for editor Charlie Dickens.

Thats not the worst of it, though, as the Dahlias discover when the newest resident at Bessie Bloodworths Magnolia Manor is found dead. She had overindulged in a large and very rich chocolate cake-but was something else baked into that cake? If so, one of the Dahlias is likely to find herself at the top of Sheriff Buddy Norris suspect list. That would give Darling something to gossip about!

And theres plenty more to keep the tongues wagging. Will the ladies at the new bakery ever learn to bake bread? Whats happening in Liz Lacys love life? Will her new book be a success? And can Voodoo Lils special brand of magic keep Violet Sims from taking Cupcake off to Hollywood to become a Shirley Temple look-alike?

But amid all these mysteries, one things for certain: The Darling Dahlias just keep growing.
