Letters from
The Ledford House, a Southern cozy mystery series mailed to you two chapters at a time
You're allowed to be nosy here. Get caught up in a small-town mystery. Willa runs The Ledford House, an inn on the lake at Rosemont Landing, and she hears everything. Twice a month she mails you two chapters, a letter, and a few things the neighbors probably wish she hadn't.
Nobody Got Her Name
has catered every funeral in Rosemont Landing for twenty years and never once run short. 's was going to be the big one. Four ex-wives, all coming, and every one of them sure she was the one he really loved.
It went fine. Everybody behaved.
Then a woman in a blue dress walked in, fixed a plate exactly the way Sonny liked it, and cried like she meant it. She left before the eulogies. She didn't sign the book.
Nobody knew her.
By Thursday, the ex-wives had a legal pad and a plan. They'd also decided Faye was helping.

A postcard and three stickers
A place in town on the front, three die-cut story stickers inside.
