Groundhog Day Grudge

Celebrate Good Crimes

Reporter Violet Rhinehammer is already juggling enough between covering the annual Groundhog Day celebration for the Junction Journal, helping organize the winter festivities, and navigating the nonstop gossip circling through town faster than a casserole at a church potluck.

Then the town’s beloved Groundhog Day ceremony takes a deadly turn.

When a local resident is found murdered just as the famous groundhog makes his big appearance, Holiday Junction goes from festive to frantic in a matter of minutes. Rumors spread across town, old grudges start bubbling to the surface, and Violet quickly realizes the victim had more enemies than anyone wants to admit.

Now Violet is chasing leads between festival events, questioning suspicious townsfolk, and trying to avoid becoming the next target herself. With her Southern mama inserting herself into the investigation, the town buzzing with speculation, and secrets hiding behind friendly smiles, Violet will have to uncover the truth before the killer buries the evidence for good.
