It seems like the perfect way for the group to do good, and to Cooper it offers the welcome opportunity to get out of the house and spend more time with her new boyfriend, Nathan. But when one of the charity's recipients is murdered, the police have no choice but to single out the church group and their fellow volunteers as the prime suspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetermined to make sure no evil deed goes unpunished, Cooper and her friends decide to discreetly interrogate each volunteer in their search for the killer, even if it means putting themselves at risk in the process. And as serving the needy becomes more treacherous than any of them could have imagined, they just might discover that the road to murder is paved with good intentions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes heavenly recipes from Magnolia Lee's kitchen!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Note from the Author:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDear Reader,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hope Street mysteries were originally published by St. Martin's Press and written under the name Jennifer Stanley. The titles, in order, were Stirring Up Strife, Path of the Wicked, and The Way of the Guilty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have completely rewritten all three novels and am now publishing them under the name Ellery Adams as The Path of the Crooked, The Way of the Wicked, and The Graves of the Guilty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've read the original books, you will find the basic plot of the above titles unchanged. My intention was to polish the writing in each installment and rerelease the novels as crisper, cleaner, more engaging books. Stay tuned for forthcoming novels in the Hope Street mystery series as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for supporting cozy mysteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour friend,\u003cbr\u003eEllery Adams","brand":"Beyond the Page Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073421525232,"sku":"2940150686953","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150686953_p0.jpg?v=1763751170","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150686953","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
