When a cold case heats up, Macy digs into secrets best left buried...
A STANDALONE NOVELLA in the Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series!
Welcome to the Barks & Beans Cafe, a quaint place where folks pet shelter dogs while enjoying a cup of java…and where murder sometimes pays a visit.
Renovations are underway on the house across the street from the Barks & Beans Cafe, but they come to a screeching halt when the decades-old bones of a missing local woman are unearthed in the basement. When house-flipper Harper shares her concern that no one will buy the place if a murder happened in it, Macy volunteers to help her new friend and do some cold case sleuthing.
As she questions those who knew the victim, Macy turns up a fresh lead. But when she makes the mistake of knocking down a retaining wall of lies, she places herself in the demolition zone with a desperate killer.
Join siblings Macy and Bo Hatfield as they sniff out crimes in their hometown…with plenty of dogs along for the ride! The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, and no swearing or graphic scenes.
