About this listen
“Filled with sweet, Southern charm!” Amazon Reviewer
There’s a battle going on in Bramblett County, Georgia, and Realtor Lily Sprayberry is in the thick of it.
Welcome to my idyllic, small, Southern town, Bramblett County, where even the quietest Monday mornings can take a deadly turn. I never expected to find my feisty and cantankerous older client, Myrtle Redbecker, lying lifeless on her kitchen floor - and with a cast-iron skillet as the weapon, no less.
As if that wasn't bad enough, I soon realized that Myrtle's death was just the beginning of a dangerous journey. With the weight of the investigation on my shoulders and my ex-boyfriend - the local sheriff - breathing down my neck, things went quickly from bad to worse.
But Myrtle had entrusted me with a promise: to sell her property to a developer and not an individual buyer. As I began to dig into the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death, I discovered a generations-old battle over the land - and the rumored treasure buried beneath it.
Suddenly, it became clear that some people would stop at nothing to get their hands on that treasure, and I found myself in the crosshairs of a dangerous plot. If I didn't solve this mystery quickly, I could wind up just like poor Myrtle - six feet under and forgotten.
With twists and turns at every corner and a cast of quirky characters, this cozy mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
