2019 READERS FAVORITE GOLD MEDAL WINNER
We all have a skeleton in the closet. Hers is real.
Burned out after thirty years of teaching high school, Deena Sharpe up and quits. She sets her sights on a reporting job at the local newspaper, but something unexpected blindsides her — she is asked to solve a family mystery 50 years in the making.
It all starts when a rookie sheriff’s deputy uncovers a forgotten skeleton in their evidence closet and soon makes an identification. The victim’s cause of death? Murder. That’s when Deena’s ailing grandmother turns to her for help. Gran doesn’t want to go to her grave not knowing the truth about her son’s disappearance so long ago.
But when a mysterious, big-city stranger shows up asking questions about the victim, Deena realizes their personal family tragedy could have vast implications that go way beyond the borders of their small Texas town.
With her grandmother worrying herself to death and a conspiracy nut threatening to destroy their family name, Deena must use her nose for news and channel her inner sleuth to sift through the clues and suspects before it’s too late…and she becomes the next victim to make headlines.
