Chickenbone Church Reunion

By Wendy Daughdrill and Anita Havens

Justice is dished out southern style in this hilarious murder mystery! Murder, Moonshine, and Dark Secrets Spanning 70 years!

Set in the Mississippi Hills

"Chickenbone was inspired by old moonshine tales that my grandfather used to tell," confesses author, Anita Havens

Two southern authors capture the very soul of the south in this action packed page turner.

 

 

Seventy years have passed since that night--since two children witnessed something so horrible that its very memory has been erased from the consciousness of this close-knit southern community.

Now, Scott Griffin has come home, home to a Mississippi he knows only from his grandmother's stories, and that knows him only as an outsider--a hotshot cop from Chicago.  When Scott came here hoping to start a new life far from the slums where he grew up, he never expected to land in the middle of the case of a lifetime--or in the arms of Angela Woodard, the beautiful, hot-tempered deputy who becomes his new partner.  But the citizens of Calhoun County are being murdered, and Scott alone holds the key that can unlock the mystery.

As his feelings for Angela grow, he realizes that if he is to save their future, he must delve into the shadows of his own heritage, back to a time when the threat of starvation made honest men do desperate things, a time when bootleggers and revenuers turned quiet Calhoun County into a war zone.  For the only one who can stop the killer has kept her deadly secret for 70 years--since the night her innocence was shattered by the blast of a double-barreled shotgun.

"I rarely read fiction...but I picked up a copy of Chickenbone Church Reunion.  It was hysterical!"--Ensign Nam Nguyen; United States Navy

 

 

                 

 

As Deputy Scott Griffin and Angela work together to solve a string of current day murders, Angela teaches Scott a valuable lesson--

Don't mess with southern girls!
