I’m so excited!! Grave As All Get Out, book 10, in the Kenni Lowry Mystery is out in audiobook today!

Kenni Lowry thought being sheriff in Cottonwood, Kentucky, was a breeze—until a psychic, claiming to commune with the dead, winds up stone-cold dead herself. Things go from bad to worse when a grave is found dug up, revealing secrets that Cottonwood would rather keep buried.

With her ghostly Poppa—the town’s former sheriff—providing his usual down-home humor and guidance, Kenni faces the challenge of unraveling a tangled web of deceit. As she digs deeper into the murder, Kenni must also contend with Deputy Scott Lee running against her in the upcoming election, spurred on by the ambitious Taven Tidwell.

With the help of her fiancé, the steadfast and annoyingly handsome Finn Vincent, and her trusty dog Duke, Kenni must race against time to catch a killer, solve the mystery of the dug-up grave, and prove to Cottonwood—and herself—that she’s worth her weight in grits. Can Kenni bring justice to her hometown before the whole case goes six feet under?

Have you been eagerly waiting to unravel the mystery in Honey Springs? Get ready, because Ice Coffee Corruption is here!

I had such a blast writing this one, bringing all the cozy mystery elements you love—small-town charm, a puzzling murder, and of course, a sprinkle of Southern humor and intrigue. There’s a high-stakes chase, a missing knife, and a twist you won’t see coming!

Most of all, it’s about a close-knit community that’s rocked by tragedy, and the lengths one determined sleuth will go to uncover the truth.

Sarah on Goodreads gave it 5 stars and said:

“…Ice Coffee Corruption had me hooked from the first page. The characters are so relatable, and the mystery is perfectly paced with just the right amount of suspense. The setting is vivid, and the story had me guessing until the very end. A must-read for any cozy mystery fan!”
