Southern small town cozy mystery with secrets.
Welcome to Sugar Creek Gap, where everyone knows your business—and the mail carrier knows even more.
Widowed mail carrier Bernadette Butler spends her days delivering letters, packages, and sometimes the town’s best-kept secrets. In a place where gossip travels faster than the mail truck, Bernadette has learned that every friendly neighbor has a story they’d rather keep hidden.
When the beloved Sugar Creek Gap Country Club faces being sold to developers, the entire town erupts in protest. The man behind the deal? Bernadette’s longtime friend Mac Tabor—and he suddenly becomes the most unpopular man in town.
After a heated public argument with the club’s majority owner, Chuck Shilling, the situation takes a deadly turn when Chuck is found murdered. With Mac quickly named the prime suspect, Bernadette knows something doesn’t add up.
Between delivering the mail and uncovering clues hidden all over town, Bernadette begins piecing together secrets that some residents would do anything to keep buried. If she can’t uncover the truth, her best friend could be headed to prison—and the real killer will remain free in Sugar Creek Gap.
