Lovely young widow Annette Holcombe is forced to turn her Veranda House on Galveston Island into a B & B after the recent death of her husband, a man she'd known only a short time. Upon his untimely death, she learns that the only thing she really knew about him was that everything she knew about him was a lie! And if being penniless wasn't bad enough, now Annette's got to contend with threatening letters, suspicious guests, fears for her daughter's safety, an impending hurricane - and murder! If only there was someone to trust. Someone like Dr. Grant Garrison, a personable, good-looking guest who's teaching at the island's medical school. But Grant, too, isn't what he seems. * * * Murder at Veranda House, an installment in the Texas Heroines in Peril series, has it all--sizzling romance, an intriguing tale of who done it, a fun cast of oddball characters (some of them, anyway), and a historic home that becomes a major player in the suspense. - In Print Reviews
