A Kernel of Truth

Clarkson Crowder traded her Kansas City corporate life for two hundred acres of trouble. When she inherits her family's farm after her parents' sudden death, she expects broken tractors, stubborn fence posts, and a learning curve steeper than a grain silo. What she doesn't expect is finding her cantankerous neighbor face-down in her cornfield—and becoming the sheriff's prime suspect in his murder.

With the law closing in and the whole town whispering, Clarkson has no choice but to dig for the truth herself. Armed with her grandmother's sharp wit, her best friend's endless supply of pie, and a herding dog named Diddly who has more investigative instincts than the county sheriff, she uncovers a tangled web of family secrets, bitter grudges, and a will that someone was willing to kill to keep unchanged.

Welcome to Meadow Creek, Kansas, where the coffee is strong, the gossip is stronger, and murder has a way of bringing out everyone's buried secrets. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a heroine you'll be rooting for from page one.
