Shakespeare's Trollop

Lily Bard has made a place for herself in Shakespeare, Arkansas, as much with her discretion as with her cleaning services. She takes out garbage, tidies closets, washes dirty laundry, and keeps her mouth shut. When Lily finds her notorious client Deedra Dean dead, she decides the police don't need to know everything she's seen on the job. Nobody needs Lily to explain Deedra took home one man too many and paid with her life.

But discovering which tomcat turned murderer is no easy task. Soon Lily's facing hostility from investigators and neighbors alike, unsettled with thoughts of the dead woman and nightmares of her own past.

Her chosen home might become a bad memory faster than she ever imagined. But Lily Bard went it alone for years before she set foot in Shakespeare, and she hasn't forgotten how. She can't shake the feeling that the police are missing something important. Even though uncovering what might cost her dearly, too...
