Dead on the Line: A Birdie Lou Baxter Mystery (Book One) — perfect for drawing in cozy mystery readers with charm, intrigue, and a dash of Southern wit:
A quiet town. A buried secret. A phone call that changes everything.

Birdie Lou Baxter thought life in Haven Hills was finally dialed in. As the manager of the local phone company, she spends her days rerouting lines, sipping sweet tea, and dealing with her cranky co-tech, Howard. But when a routine service call uncovers a decades-old body buried near an abandoned pedestal, Birdie finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery with ties to the town’s forgotten past.

The clues lead her to a long-lost vault hidden beneath the old phone company building—once a bank—and a treasure hunter whose map puts Birdie at the center of a deadly cover-up. With strange noises in the basement, muddy fingerprints at the back door, and a missing backpack full of secrets, Birdie begins to realize the killer is closer than anyone thinks… and they’re still searching for the combination to silence the truth.

With the help of a loyal receptionist, a suspicious sheriff, and a whole lot of grit, Birdie must outsmart a killer who knows how to tap into everything—including her fear.
