Murder, mystery, and meddling Grannies.

Tech nerd Emmy Forester has barely unpacked at the Oddity Shop when trespassers, tricksters, and troublemakers start circling in Hope Springs.

When her quirky mini-dachshund, Wyatt Burp, leads her to an antique chest, Emmy opens a world of bootleggers and bad decisions hidden for a century.

A local low-level thief turns up murdered, and the clues pull Emmy deep into Huckleberry Holler, where bootprints, tobacco spatters, and a hidden tunnel hint that someone's hiding something deadly.

The Appalachian Grannies jump in with casseroles and unsolicited advice, forcing Emmy to figure out who's friend or foe.

Protective neighbor Jack hovering, Sly Cutler poking around her property, and Tressie Nellie Snipe watching a little too closely.

All have motives. All have secrets. All are watching the newcomer.

As danger creeps closer and suspicions twist toward her, Emmy realizes she must crack the case fast.

If she doesn't uncover the killer hiding in the holler, she might be the next body pulled from the tunnel.

A Note to Readers:

Murder at Huckleberry Holler is a standalone introduction to Emmy Forester as a newcomer to the world of Hope Springs. This novella is not part of the main Hope Springs Mysteries series -- think of it as a "getting to know you" adventure before you dive into the full-length books.

If you enjoy Emmy's data-driven detective work, Wyatt Burp's treasure-hunting nose, the Grannies' gossip network, and the secrets buried in Appalachian soil, you'll find more mysteries waiting in the complete series starting with Murder at Jasper's Junk and Jewels.

Happy sleuthing!
