Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Finalist for Best Cozy of '22! Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited. For almost thirty years, Alpha Bodine's murder has been one of the few unsolved crimes in The Sisters. The beloved grandmother was attacked in her parlor in broad daylight but her killer was never found. There were no witnesses, no evidence, and no apparent motive for her death. The mystery still haunts those who knew and loved her, particularly elected officials who hadn't seen justice served under their watch. Her old Victorian mansion became a forgotten shrine, locked up and abandoned while rumors continued to swirl about her death. The house remained shuttered to the public, until a failed business venture forced her heirs into an emergency liquidation sale. Being the close-knit community that they are, the townspeople turned out in droves to show their support. That, and to see the rumored blood stains still on the Persian carpet. Having seen more than her share of dead bodies and crime scenes since moving back home, Madison deCordova wasn't there for the gore. She hoped to find some small treasure from the past, some trinket or piece of artwork that filled a need she didn't know she had. What she found was so much more. Maddy, of course, found Miss Alpha's killer. Book 12 in the best-selling, award-winning The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series. These stand-alone mysteries are enjoyed best as a full-series experience.
