A Bone to Pick

Forty years ago, someone got away with murder.

When Reverend George Pickering and Ruby Bailey were found shot to death at Grimm Island's most notorious lovers' lane, the scandal rocked the tight-knit community to its core. A minister and his mistress, their bodies staged in a lover's embrace—it was the kind of murder that should have been solved. But bungled evidence, lying witnesses, and three false confessions turned the case ice cold.

Until now.

Mabel McCoy is perfectly content running her tea shop and dressing her bulldog in bowties—until Sheriff Dash Beckett hands her and the Silver Sleuths a dusty case file that sets their inner detectives ablaze. Armed with nothing but determination, vintage dresses, and a posse of gun-toting seniors who remember 1982 like it was yesterday, Mabel starts asking questions that someone definitely doesn't want answered.

Because the killer isn't dead. They're not even gone.
They're right here on Grimm Island, sipping sweet tea and keeping their secrets—and they'll do whatever it takes to make sure Mabel doesn't live long enough to expose them.

With sparkling wit, small-town charm, and enough plot twists to make your head spin, the second Mabel McCoy Mystery proves that some bones are better left buried... but where's the fun in that?
