Ax To Grind

“I was quickly turning the pages in this engaging mystery, thrilled with all the twists and turns. . . . This Yankee loved the southern characters” —Kings River Life Magazine
Bestselling author Beryle Stone is the most famous citizen to ever come out of Cottonwood, Kentucky. She knows everyone in town and they know her. And when she dies, she puts all her worldly possessions up for auction—except for one: a hidden tell-all about Cottonwood that’s got more gossip than a ladies’ luncheon.
When Beryle’s assistant turns up with an ax in her back and the only witness is in a coma, Sheriff Kenni Lowry reckons someone in town will do anything to keep the manuscript from seeing the light of day. Her poppa’s ghost returns to help piece together the life of the Beryle he once knew, but his memory’s a little foggy, and any misstep could cause them a world of trouble.
With the help of Deputy Finn Vincent, Kenni must sort through the secrets buried in Beryle’s books—or face her final chapter . . .
