About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a Civil War reenactment, a missing body, and one ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout Troop leader with hilarious results!
Merry Wrath is facing a dilemma. Her co-leader of the Girl Scout Troop has enrolled them in a Civil War reenactment centered around the obscure Battle of Idiot Creek. Dressed in authentic 19th-century attire, Merry is determined to ensure her troop stays out of trouble. However, chaos ensues right from the start - from the children purchasing a cannon with her credit card to a troop member sneaking off at night to win at poker, to avoiding conflicts with the snooty Magnolia Girls. Things take a sinister turn when a genuine human leg appears in the simulated amputation tent, only to vanish while Merry is keeping watch. With the rest of the body nowhere to be found, Merry questions her sanity, wondering if a killer is in their midst. To complicate matters, Riley, her former CIA contact, emerges as a charming cavalry officer investigating an actual crime, her married best friend is infatuated with the Provost who resembles Sam Elliot, and an unexpected Union soldier is executing guerrilla operations during the battles. As threats loom over Merry from a group of soldiers and the Sheriff dismisses her concerns, can she uncover the truth behind the murder before the reenactment concludes?
