"THE WRONG GOOD DEED is a Sun City mystery that finds Clemmie caught up in another drama against her wishes when her neighbor Muffin drags her from Sunday morning service at Trinity Hill, convinced that the man she's just spotted across the aisle is a dangerous figure from her past. It turns out that Muffin, like Clemmie, has her own dark secret that she's been keeping for decades-and whether or not the man at Trinity Hill is who she thinks he is, other figures have emerged from Muffin's past-on national news, no less-that make it more and more likely that she won't be able to keep her secret much longer, and that her own life might truly be at risk"-- 1964: Christaphine is twenty years old, newly married, and determined to make a home and a life for her and her husband, Tommy. But when Christaphine discovers Tommy and his friends on the verge of committing a horrible crime, she does what she has to do to stop them. Afterwards, she knows she can't ever go home again--so she disappears. 50 years later: When Clemmie's neighbor, Muffin, drags her from Sunday morning service at Trinity Hill Church, convinced that the man she's just spotted across the aisle is a dangerous figure from her past, at first Clemmie thinks she's being dramatic. But as Muffin reveals to Clemmie what happened in the middle of a field in South Carolina five decades ago, Clemmie realizes her friend has been keeping dark secrets--just as Clemmie herself has. And the secrets that belong to both women are not the kind that can be revealed without dire consequences...
