But romance? That's another story. Ellie and Meg joke that they're in sisterly competition for worst relationships. So when their cousin signs them up for her newest business endeavor--matchmaking based on bookish tastes--the sisters approach their blind double dates with foot-dragging dread. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile Ellie's date meets her low expectations, Meg's match, a book-loving romantic straight out of classic literature, charms her over a lovely dinner. The next morning, Meg is giddy with anticipation of a second date--until she's stood up without a word. She fumes that she should have known better. However, her date had a good reason for ghosting her: He's dead. Murdered, the police later confirm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the last known person to see the victim alive, Meg becomes a prime suspect in his death. She grimly quips that at least her dating record can't get any worse. But it does.

Clues accumulate, but so do suspects, crimes, and betrayals. Ellie and Meg can't afford to leave any page unturned.
