Bless Your Heart - Leigh Dunlap

Anderson Tupper, a member of one of Atlanta''s richest families, has been murdered in the dugout of the Little League field where he was a volunteer coach, and it''s up to Detective Shay Claypool, a single mother from the other side of town, to find his killer. With the exclusive area of Buckhead threatening to secede from the city of Atlanta and take its tax revenue with it, Shay is under pressure to solve the murder of one of Buckhead''s own. Accustomed to handling drug dealers and prostitutes, she must now contend with an even more sinister group: the Buckhead Betties, the insufferably entitled women of Georgia''s most affluent zip code. One of them might be a murderer, but who? Is it the old-money queen of Buckhead? The mysterious new girl in town? The drug dealing trophy wife? It seems secrets and lies are as plentiful as luxury handbags in Atlanta and everyone''s guilty of something. Shay''s investigation will make her examine her own prejudices and discover that, as women and mothers, she might not be that different from the Betties after all. And if she isn''t careful, they just might take her down with them.
