Southern cozy mystery with a wrongly accused handyman
When a handyman working near Daniel Boone National Park is accused of murder, a simple side job turns into a deadly mess.
Known around Happy Trails Campground for honest work and strong hands, Mae West’s trusted handyman jumps at the chance to make extra money removing trees on private property. But when the man who hired him is found murdered—killed with one of the handyman’s own tools—the job becomes a nightmare.
Now facing charges for illegal logging and murder, he’s the sheriff’s top suspect. With his reputation on the line and jail looming, there’s only one person he trusts to help clear his name: Mae West.
Mae and her sharp-eyed friends, the Laundry Club Ladies, start digging into shady land deals, suspicious contracts, and secrets hiding deep in the woods. As rumors spread and danger creeps closer, they discover the murder is tied to far more than a few missing trees.
With time running out, Mae must uncover the truth before an innocent man pays the price for someone else’s deadly scheme.
A witty Southern cozy mystery filled with small-town gossip, community sleuthing, and a wrongly accused hero—perfect for readers who love campground settings, ensemble casts, and clean whodunits with heart.
