A lover of all things green, CeCe Prentice is not impressed when a supposedly eco-friendly development, Green Acres, pops up next to her family's homestead. It's not so much the million-dollar price tags of the high-tech homes that bother her, but rather the new neighbors whose green lifestyles rely entirely on fancy phone apps.

Already disillusioned by the so-called sustainable development, CeCe is downright alarmed when residents start showing up dead and her best friend Charlie is accused of murder. CeCe's not sure how to support both her best friend and her boyfriend, Detective Frank DeRosa...until she discovers a clue only she understands.

Praise for the Sketch in Crime Mysteries:
"A dysfunctional family to die for . . . [CeCe Prentice's] second case is every bit as twisty and surprising."—Kirkus Reviews

"Deirdre Verne imbues CeCe with intelligence and humor, and the snappy repartee between characters is delightful."—Mystery Scene
