Crystal Haven, Michigan, is psyching up for a Zombie Fun Run, but Clyde is fretful about the undead festivities. For one thing, her sister, Grace, has unexpectedly returned to town after fifteen years. When one of the zombie runners is found murdered and then Grace disappears, Clyde must find a ghoulish murderer before someone points the finger at Grace. And when a web of family secrets combines with a mysterious case of stolen diamonds..."

Laughing out loud, I wanted to read on...
