Heiress Nora Blackbird and her two sisters--housewife and nudist-yoga enthusiast Libby and independent Emma--turn sleuth once again to investigate a case of murder among the aristocracy that is tied to a popular sports bar, political intrigue, ex-rock stars, and a blue-blooded brat with an unquenchable thirst for fame and fortune. By the author of Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die.

Like her heroines the Blackbird sisters, Nancy Martin comes from a distinguished Pennsylvania family whose ancestors include Betsy Ross, a hanging judge, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She grew up with horses and books, and wishes she had inherited a closet full of couture. Unfortunately, Nancy does most of her shopping out of catalogs.
The three sisters Blackbird—Nora, Emma and Libby—return in Martin's charming and funny fifth novel (after 2005's Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die). Zell Orcutt, a dirty old man on the periphery of the Blackbirds' high-society Philadelphia circle, is found dead. If the arrow shot through his heart at first seems a tad improbable, well, all his disgruntled relatives are archery fans. From a state senator who may not be as dumb as he appears to an obnoxious, busty teenager who thinks she'll come into big bucks now that Zell is dead, the suspects are legion, and Nora, of course, can't resist detecting. But the real mystery is the paternity of the baby Nora's carrying, and whether she is really, truly, finally through with her hunky but oh-so-dangerous lover, Michael Abruzzo. (Mar.)
