The discovery of a long-dead body in an abandoned refrigerator sends Ogeechee, Georgia, police officer Trudy Roundtree into the small town's past, where she uncovers rivalries, jealousy, and murder.When the body is identified as a young woman who was last seen more than 30 years earlier, shortly after a wedding shower in her honor, Trudy digs into secrets thought long buried. Who killed Karen Willard and stuffed her body in the refrigerator? Was it her fianci, Donnie Burkhalter, who died in an accident the day she was last seen? Donnie's jealous ex-girlfriend? Donnie's father or one of his friends, notorious rascals? Donnie's mother, who didn't want him to marry Karen? His brother, who might have made advances that Karen rejected?Using scraps of old memories and a package Donnie's mother sent to Karen's home, Trudy and Chief of Police Henry Huckabee - assisted by Karen's sister and generous amounts of meddlesome advice from Hen's mother and her friends - develop a theory of what happened - but it seems impossible that any one person could have done it.Trudy must use all of her wiles to uncover the real killer, all the while trying to get the answers out of the citizens of the small town she's lived in all her life. But when the case breaks, will she have the heart to arrest the murderer, especially if it's someone she's known all her life?Linda Berry's roots are firmly planted in small-town Georgia.
