Synopsis

                                               
            Kitt Morgan’s hope of a singing career dies after surgeons botch her throat surgery, but she won’t accept defeat. Moving forward, she earns a job on her Iowa town’s police force, trying for a law enforcement career like her father’s.
While she’s on suspension for shooting an unarmed criminal, Kitt’s boyfriend deserts her. With head unbowed, Kitt visits her sister and brother-in-law, Janell and Rex Cummings, at The Poinsettia, their Key West home and B&B inn. Here she  becomes embroiled in the murder investigation of Abra Barrie, a former B&B guest.
Police question Janell, Rex, and their staff—gardener Phud Ashby, renter and psychic Hella Flusher, and three combo musicians, Ace, Teach, and Mama G. Janell asks Kitt to help her check the workers’ alibis, hoping they will no longer be suspect.
Kitt knows criminals, and she’s wary of the B&B staff.  Rex lies to her. Ace and Phud try to charm and flatter her. Hella refuses to use her clairvoyant talents to pinpoint the killer. The murderer might be any one of them.
While Kitt wrests with these problems, the Iowa grand jury declares her shooting ot the criminal an act of self-defense. She’s free to return to her police job.
But does she want to?
Big questions remain in Key West. Who is Abra’s killer? Is Kitt next on his list?
