There’s a battle going on in Bramblett County, Georgia, and Realtor Lily Sprayberry is in the thick of it.

Nothing ever happens in Bramblett County… until it does.

On an ordinary Monday morning in my charming Southern town, I expected coffee and paperwork, but instead, I found my sharp-tongued, strong-willed client Myrtle Redbecker dead on her kitchen floor, with a cast-iron skillet as the murder weapon.

Now the local gossip mill is churning, my ex-boyfriend, who happens to be the town sheriff, is breathing down my neck, and I’ve inherited Myrtle’s last request: sell her property to a developer, not an individual. Simple, right? Except the land has a history… and a whispered legend about treasure buried beneath it. A treasure people are dying to find.

The deeper I dig, the more I uncover decades-old grudges, secret family feuds, and neighbors who smile sweetly while hiding dangerous motives. Someone in Bramblett will do anything to claim that treasure and they’ve put me squarely in their sights.

In a town where secrets are currency and everyone’s got an alibi, I’ll have to solve this mystery fast or I could wind up the next body on the floor.

Perfect for fans of small-town sleuths, Southern charm, and page-turning whodunits with a dash of humor.
