About this eBook

Stella “Granny” Reid’s youth wasn’t the only thing changed by time in tiny, nondescript McGill, Georgia. Except even back in the 1980s, the Southern town still had a way of attracting downright dubious characters—some with a talent for murder.

As quirky as McGill’s residents can be, they usually welcome society’s oddballs and outcasts into the community with open arms. But the three members of the Lone White Wolf Pack are a different story. Townsfolk aren’t feeling the least bit neighborly toward the gang widely believed to have orchestrated several hate crimes in the area. When the group’s leader Billy Ray Sonner is found dead in an abandoned motel, most assume it was the result of an accidental overdose. An unfortunate yet predictable end for a man who lived the way Billy did. Only Stella and the sheriff have witnessed the crime scene in person, and suspect something more disturbing happened in that ramshackle room . . .

While Stella wades through a flood of potential culprits, one thing becomes clear—this wasn’t an impulsive act of revenge. There’s a sophisticated killer on the loose, and Stella must expose deep-rooted fears and dark pasts if she wants to crack a carefully planned murder and stop McGill from descending into chaos.

 

Ratings and reviews

cozy-mystery, murder, law-enforcement, whodunit, situational-humor, verbal-humor, discrimination***** Such fun! I haven't read a Samantha Reid mystery in a while (can't think why) but I remember enough to know that I loved them. This is before the Samantha series and is every bit as much fun and with good sleuthing, too! Stella is raising her grandchildren while their parent is in prison and it's a real trial. She is seeing fellow widow Sheriff Manny whom she'd known since childhood and he doesn't get bent out of shape when she snoops along and gets quite bossy. Good plot, interesting characters, and a lot of laughs. Loved it! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
