When corpses clutching poems begin turning up around Storyton Hall, Jane Steward is on the trail of someone exercising poetic license to kill and is determined to keep her fairytale resort from turning into a southern gothic
As Jane eagerly anticipates the wedding of her best friend Eloise Alcott, Storyton Hall is overrun with poets in town to compete for a coveted greeting card contract. Theyre everywhere, scrawling verses on cocktail napkins in the reading rooms or seeking inspiration strolling the Poets Walk, a series of trails named after famous authors. But the Tennyson Trail leads to a grim surprise: a womans corpse drifting in a rowboat on a lake, posed as if she were The Lady of Shallot.
When a second body is discovered, also posed as a poetic character, a recurring MO emerges. Fortunately, Jane is well versed in sleuthing and wont rest until she gives the killer a taste of poetic justice
