Southern cozy mystery small town murder.
Welcome to Sugar Creek Gap, where front porch gossip travels faster than the mail truck and secrets never stay buried for long.
Mail carrier Bernadette Butler knows everyone in town—from the shop owners on Main Street to the neighbors she greets along her daily route. Delivering the mail means hearing the stories people share…and the secrets they try to hide.
When the clerk of Sugar Creek Gap’s brand-new bookstore turns up dead, the quiet town is already buzzing over a scandalous “fiction” romance novel that just hit the shelves—one filled with thinly disguised stories about the town’s most carefully guarded secrets.
Now whispers are spreading, reputations are on the line, and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.
With the help of her sharp-eyed friends—the Front Porch Ladies—Bernadette begins delivering more than mail. She starts uncovering clues hidden behind friendly smiles and polite Southern manners.
But in a town where everyone knows everyone, solving the murder might expose secrets that were never meant to see the light of day.
