They're not even gone.They're right here on Grimm Island, sipping sweet tea and keeping their secrets-and they'll do whatever it takes to make sure Mabel doesn't live long enough to expose them.With sparkling wit, small-town charm, and enough plot twists to make your head spin, the second Mabel McCoy Mystery proves that some bones are better left buried... but where's the fun in that?
