Museums can be Murder
July in Possumwood, Texas, starts with a bang when retired homicide detective PC Donovan's niece comes to town. The jilted bride hopes to heal her shattered heart by connecting with her daddy's family, who she hasn't seen since she was little bitty. PC's still in town, caring for her mama's rescued farm critters, and dealing with the fallout from an on-going crime wave. Her long-lost niece gets a volunteer job at a local museum, and life seems easy as apple pie.
But Hope may not be the sweet little girl everyone remembers.
Sparks fly when the museum staff finds Hope standing over the body of the curator, murder weapon in hand, and covered in blood, and PC finds it a little hard to believe her unlikely story. The Possumwood PD shuts her out on this case, so she and her brother team up to smoke out the culprit. Explosive revelations send them rocketing down the path to revealing the killer and proving Hope innocent. Or is she?
