From Melanie Jackson, bestselling author of the Chloe Boston Mysteries, comes Gone South, the third book in the delightfully offbeat Butterscotch Jones Cozy Mystery Series.
Butterscotch Jones has worked hard to build a life for herself in the eccentric Canadian village of MacIntyre's Gulch, where the weather is unpredictable, the locals are unforgettable, and trouble has a way of arriving at the worst possible moment.
Then the call comes from the States.
Her father is dying.
At least, that is what she is told.
For Butterscotch, the message raises more questions than it answers. Is this truly a final chance at reconciliation with the man who shaped so much of her troubled past? Or is it a trap designed to lure her across the border and back into danger?
There is only one way to find out.
Unable to make the journey alone, Butterscotch turns to Detective Chuck Goodhead for help. Chuck knows crossing the border to aid her could put his career at risk, but he also knows Butterscotch is not the kind of woman who can ignore unfinished business-especially when family, regret, and possible deception are involved.
What begins as a risky trip south soon spirals into chaos.
Old wounds reopen. Suspicion mounts. Danger closes in. And Butterscotch must decide who can be trusted when every answer seems to lead to another complication.
With its blend of small-town charm, border-crossing suspense, eccentric characters, humor, danger, and heart, Gone South is a lively cozy mystery for readers who enjoy clever heroines, complicated families, and mysteries that never go quite where expected.
Butterscotch Jones only wanted to see her father.
Now she has to survive the trip.
A light, fun read with an eccentric cast of characters who bring the village of MacIntyre's Gulch to delightful life.
