Thick As Thieves

Southern cozy mystery with ghosts and small-town murder. Sheriff Kenni Lowry should be planning a wedding, not investigating a homicide. But in Cottonwood, Kentucky, murder has a habit of interrupting even the happiest occasions.

When Judge Horace Blackwell is found murdered inside his chambers, Kenni is pulled into a small-town mystery tangled with family feuds, a disputed inheritance, and long-buried secrets beneath Cottonwood's historic streets. What starts as a routine investigation quickly turns personal—and dangerous.

With her ghostly Poppa offering unsolicited advice from beyond the grave, her loyal hound Duke tracking trouble, and her fiancé Finn standing firmly at her side, Kenni follows a trail that winds through underground tunnels, high-stakes poker games, and scandal that refuses to stay hidden. In a town where everyone knows everyone, the killer may be closer than Kenni is ready to admit.

As the pressure mounts and the wedding clock keeps ticking, Kenni must uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again—or before she loses her chance at happily ever after.

Thick as Thieves is a Southern cozy mystery filled with humor, heart, light romance, and a touch of the paranormal—perfect for readers who love small-town sleuths, ghostly sidekicks, and clever whodunits with charm.
