Sifting Through Secrets
MURDER . . . IN OAK HILL?
The quiet little town of Oak Hill, North Carolina, is shocked
when highway construction unearths a human skeleton with a
bullet hole in its skull—and horrified when a beloved educator
is murdered in her home a few days later. But help is on the
way, because . . . IDA MAE AND CLAUDIA ARE ON THE
CASE!
Pushing eighty but ready for adventure, the two women are
neighbors in a retirement community. Between them, Ida Mae,
who is white, and Claudia, who is African-American, know
almost everything there is to know about the town. If they pool
their knowledge, can they solve the crimes ahead of Oak Hill’s
two police detectives and an eage but clueless newspaper reporter?
Suspects include a shady real estate developer, a teenage drug dealer, a
family of moonshiners, a mysterious stranger with dragon
tattoos, and a wealthy woman who has returned to Oak Hill after a
sixty-year absence.
Join in the fun as Ida Mae and Claudia sift through Oak Hill’s
secrets to untangle mysteries in the past and present!
