Smarty Bones (Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries)

Professor Olive Twist has come to Zinnia, Mississippi, to study a mysterious grave wherein lies the Lady in Red, a perfectly preserved and stunningly beautiful but unnamed and unclaimed body. Olive claims she can not only identify the corpse, she can also prove the womans scandalous role in the nations history. Olive takes it a step too far, though, when she starts connecting elite Zinnia families with the same scandal.
