Dead As All Get Out

Fireworks. Founder's Day. Murder.

Loblolly Falls gathers to celebrate Founder's Day and the grand reopening of its town park-complete with a costumed dog parade, movie, and fireworks. But when a runaway dog leads Dixie French and her best friend Miriam to a nearby house, the festivities come to a deadly halt.

The dog's owner-the town's grumpiest neighbor-is found dead at the bottom of her stairs. What first appears to be a tragic accident quickly turns into something far more sinister.

With tensions simmering over the park's expansion, a mayor under scrutiny, and a deputy who's had enough of amateur sleuths, Dixie and Miriam promise to stay out of trouble.

They fail-spectacularly.

Because in a town full of long memories and hidden grudges, someone had a reason to silence the woman next door... and Dixie is determined to find out who.
