Zara and Lilly are back, but their relationship has some cracks in it. Through the long pandemic isolation, Zara’s gone from straight-laced to rigid, while Lilly, true to form, has indulged in some dubious — and not-particularly-legal — adventures. Just as they set out to make peace with each other, a woman calls, claiming a shocking connection to their deceased father. Zara and Lilly turn their considerable sleuthing talents toward unraveling a series of family mysteries…but their quest begins in earnest when they learn that the murderer and thief who nearly killed Lilly has escaped from custody.
Filled with humor, sibling rivalry, and love, Zara and Lilly’s return is a haunting, quirky, rollicking story of the ravages of the pandemic and the power of family.
