Southern cozy mystery small town murder.
Bernadette Butler knows everyone’s business—it comes with the job. As the mail carrier in her quiet Southern town, she delivers letters, chats with neighbors on their front porches, and keeps track of the gossip that travels faster than the mail truck.
But one delivery changes everything.
While attempting to deliver a return-to-sender package and a certified letter, Bernadette discovers the recipient dead.
When the death turns suspicious, Bernadette can’t resist getting involved. With the help of the ever-watchful Front Porch Ladies—a group of sharp-eyed women who treat gossip like currency—she begins piecing together grudges, secrets, and long-held rivalries hidden behind polite smiles.
In a small town where everyone knows everyone, the truth isn’t easy to deliver.
As suspicion spreads through the neighborhood and the suspect list keeps growing, Bernadette must uncover the real killer before someone else becomes the next fatal delivery.
