Shotgun Wedding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249310738)

Small-town Southern cozy mystery with a sheriff sleuth

Something borrowed, something blue... and something deadly.

Sheriff Kenni Lowry's wedding day should be about vows, cake, and finally catching her breath. Instead, her wedding night is interrupted by a visit from her ghostly Poppa-and a warning that something is very wrong.

Miss Tilda Boone, a beloved church fixture and lifelong rule-follower, was expected at the ceremony. She never arrived.

Before Kenni can even consider a honeymoon, she's back in uniform, standing inside Miss Tilda's quiet home, where a familiar afternoon routine ended in death. What first appears to be a natural passing quickly turns suspicious when evidence points to tampered tea and a kettle prepared with deadly intent.

With the town watching and rumors spreading fast, Kenni must uncover who had access to Miss Tilda's home, her habits, and her trust. The suspect list grows to include church volunteers, family members, and neighbors who knew Miss Tilda's meticulous routines a little too well.

Balancing newlywed life, small-town politics, and a homicide investigation-while Poppa offers his unfiltered commentary-Kenni is determined to uncover the truth before another life is lost.

Because in Cottonwood, Kentucky, marriage doesn't slow down murder... and this sheriff won't rest until justice is served.

A cozy Southern mystery featuring:
A sheriff sleuth juggling marriage and murder
A ghostly grandpa with opinions and warnings
A suspicious death hiding behind routine and tradition
Church secrets, small-town gossip, and tight-knit suspects
Wedding bells, Southern charm, and clean cozy sleuthing

Perfect for readers who love Southern cozy mysteries, small-town sheriff sleuths, and gentle paranormal twists with heart, humor, and justice served right on time.
