National bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert takes readers back in time to small-town Darling, Alabama, in the 1930s--where the Darling Savings and Trust has just closed and the women of the Darling Dahlias' garden club are betting their bottom dollar there's going to be trouble. "Captivating...Charming characters, a fast-paced plot, and a strong sense of history help make this a superior cozy."--Publishers Weekly "The author of the popular China Bayles Mysteries brings a small Southern town to life and vividly captures an era and culture--the Depression, segregation, class differences, the role of women in the South--with authentic period details. Her book fairly sizzles with the strength of the women of Darling."--Library Journal

The first four books, The Darling Dahlas and the Confederate Rose, The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree, The Darling Dahlias and the Naked Ladies, and The Darling Dahlias and the Texas Star are available in print, ebook, and audio. The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush will be published in September, 2014. Susan Wittig Albert is currently working on The Darling Dahlias and the Eleven O'Clock Lady (September, 2015).
