About this listen
Indie Reader Best Indie Humor Book of 2019
Winner - The Next Generation Indie Book Awards (best humor book)
IPPY Award for best cozy mystery
When Dode Schneider, rattle-brained farmer, insists an abandoned mansion is haunted by ghosts with big butts, Pawpaw County Sheriff Boots Gibson happily off-loads the crazy complaint to Ruby Jane and Veenie, Southern old, amateur lady sleuths in training with the Shady Hoosier Detective Agency.
The lifelong gal pals aren’t afraid of the haunted mansion, built by a con artist banker who rowed out of town on the flood waters of 1919, taking the town’s gold with him. The crime-cracking senior duo set out in their smoke-belching 1960 Impala to uncover the truth behind the century-old haunting legend, only to find evidence of long ago murder and mayhem.
Along the way, Veenie and Ruby Jane chase down a missing drunk wiener dog, earn a lifetime supply of mystery meat sandwiches from Pokey’s Tavern, recover a stolen Harley, and uncover the startling truth about a long-cursed buried treasure.
The investigation doesn’t go smoothly, but Ruby Jane and Veenie, fueled by senior grit, engage in crime-cracking hijinks that will leave the listener rolling in laughter in this classic Southern cozy, crime comedy novel.

1970s, Southern Alabama. Sixty-two-year-old Jeremiah Lewis Taylor, or “Nub,” has spent his whole life listening to those he loves tell him he’s no good—first his ex-wife, now his always-disapproving daughter. Sure, his escapades have made him, along with his cousin and perennial sidekick, Benny, just a smidge too familiar with small-town law enforcement, but he’s never harmed anyone—except perhaps himself.

It’s February 1976, and Odessa, Texas, stands on the cusp of the next great oil boom. While the town’s men embrace the coming prosperity, its women intimately know and fear the violence that always seems to follow. In the early hours of the morning after Valentine’s Day, 14-year-old Gloria Ramírez appears on the front porch of Mary Rose Whitehead’s ranch house, broken and barely alive. The teenager had been viciously attacked in a nearby oil field - an act of brutality that is tried in the churches and barrooms of Odessa before it can reach a court of law.
