A Small-Town Christian Cozy Mystery

When names appear in River Valley’s obituaries before the victims are even dead, Marsha Steele must stop a killer before her own name is written in stone.

River Valley isn’t just known for its charm—it’s also home to secrets as dark as the Ozark night. When elderly women begin dying after their names mysteriously appear in the obituaries, panic spreads through the close-knit town. But when one “living victim” turns to Marsha Steele for help, Marsha realizes she’s facing her most chilling case yet.

Life should be sweet with her shop, Country Gifts from Heaven, thriving, but Marsha’s personal world is anything but peaceful. Her nemesis has returned, dangerously cozying up to Duane, her daughter is smitten with a brooding stranger, and her long-delayed wedding plans still hang in limbo. With River Valley unraveling, Marsha must dig deep to unearth buried secrets, confront old rivalries, and expose a killer who’s already marked her for death.

Full of small-town drama, witty humor, and spine-tingling suspense, Deadly Obituaries delivers a gripping cozy mystery perfect for fans of clever amateur sleuths, quirky communities, and twisty Southern whodunits.
