Fowl Deeds
Part 1 of the Pine Ridge Mystery series
After catching her husband cheating with his bombshell secretary, Darby Alexander swears her life can't get any messier. Until a dead man shows up in her front yard. Now, her quiet Arkansas neighborhood is crawling with cops-including the town's new police chief whose good looks stir feelings she can't ignore. When the victim turns out to be an ex-con-with her address tucked into his pocket-Darby realizes she's not just unlucky in love... she might be next on a killer's list. Ignoring warnings to stay out of police business, Darby and her best friend Lurlene dive into a world of small-town secrets, shady dealings, and intrigue at the local poultry plant. What begins as curiosity morphs into a fight for her life as Darby uncovers a deadly conspiracy no one saw coming.
