Synopsis
For Kendra Clayton life is good — for about five minutes. Then her sweetie, lawyer Carl Brumfield, leaves town to help out his sister in Cleveland. Her soon-to-be-married best friend picks out a hideous bridesmaid's dress for her to wear (a sequined Smurf-blue nightmare with a bow on the butt). The work she loves as a part-time GED instructor turns into the job from hell when a retired kindergarten teacher with the personality of a piranha becomes her new boss.
And to top it all off, Trish Harmon, aka Detective Trish Harmon of the Willow, Ohio, police department, shows up at her class. To say Detective Harmon and Kendra don't see eye to eye is like saying people in hell are a little warm. And now Detective Harmon is looking for Kendra's favorite student, a troubled young man named Timmy who has been straightening out his life.
A pretty local beautician is dead, and Timmy is suspect number one. When he later shows up at Kendra's apartment begging for help, it's only one more step before Kendra's back on the road to trouble again, trying to find out the real killer, stepping over the line from a nice safe life into danger...and getting tangled in the deadly roots of desire.

Synopsis
Amateur sleuth, Kendra Clayton is back in the sequel to "The Company You Keep". Unlikely heroine and amateur sleuth, Kendra Clayton returns in the follow-up to Angela Henry's smart, sassy chick-lit mystery. Life is good for Kendra Clayton. For about five minutes. The bad guys have been successfully rounded up; the threats to her safety and the safety of her best girlfriend are nullified; and she's back at her old job, teaching disadvantaged kids in a quiet Ohio town. Then her sweetheart, lawyer Carl Brumfield, leaves town to help out his sister in Cleveland. Her soon-to-be-married best friend picks out a hideous bridesmaid's dress for her to wear and the work she loves suddenly becomes the job from hell when a lunatic with the personality of a dyspeptic piranha becomes her new boss. Which all sets the stage nicely for the real fun to begin. A pretty local beautician turns up dead - and Kendra's favourite student, a troubled young man named Timmy who has been trying to straighten out his life, is named as the number one suspect.
When he shows up at Kendra's apartment begging for help, she realises there's nothing for it but to get back on that road to trouble again - only this time it's far worse. Not only is she trying to find the real killer before the real killer finds her - and trying to get her best friend to change her mind about that damn dress without ruining the wedding and their friendship - she's also getting tangled in the deadly roots of desire."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
