Who Let That Killer in the House?

A Thoroughly Southern Mystery #5 Long ago, the cozy southern town of Hopemore, Georgia fell on dark times after the murder of a little girl shook its easygoing citizens, sending one man to prison and changing the lives of two young boys forever. Years later, residents all settled back into their routines, the suicide of one of the town's most beloved teachers, Dwanye Evans, brings Hopemore's dark past back into the present. Southern lady, county magistrate and co-owner of the local nursery, MacLaren Yarbrough knows how to keep busy—and that's not even counting her rather large extended family—but now she's ready to add amateur sleuth to the list. It's not that she doubts the reasons the police give for Mr. Evans' suicide; she just can't help but wonder if someone drove him to it… In this sleepy Southern town where 'crime,' is usually no harsher than a speeding ticket, McClaren may need to seek out the criminal herself if she plans to discover the hidden truth… "This series is a winner." –Tamar Myers "As Southern as Sunday fried chicken and sweet tea… Come for one visit and you'll always return." –Carolyn Hart
