A prank war erupts in Lake Sackett, Georgia and coroner
Frankie McCready has to turn to the gorgeous but surly new
sheriff for help in Molly Harper’s newest Southern Eclectic
novella, perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Amy E.
Reichert.
The McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop has crickets
running rampant in the store and hot sauce in the Snack
Shack’s ketchup bottles. But as the county coroner, Frankie
has enough on her plate without worrying about the
increasingly mean pranks being played at her family’s
business. And the arrival of Sheriff Eric Linden, both
devastatingly attractive and painfully taciturn, is enough
to push her over the edge.
Linden, who didn’t seem to get the memo about men in uniform
and Southern charm, is condescending and cold, revealing
absolutely nothing about his past as an Atlanta police
officer, while also making Frankie’s job as coroner as
difficult as possible. And with the town’s Fourth of July
celebration coming up, it’s essential for McCready’s to be
cricket-free and in good working order. Strangling the
sheriff will make her job even harder. Can Frankie hold off
the threats to preserve her own sanity?
