So it didn’t surprise Josiah when someone killed Charlie. Unfortunately her lawyer and friend, Shaneika Mary Todd, might have done the dirty deed!

DEATH BY MALICE Josiah Reynolds opens her door to find her neighbor, Sandy Sloan, clutching her little dog, Georgie. “Hi Josiah. Sorry to bother you. Can you keep my dog for a couple of days while I check on my mother? She’s ill.” Josiah reluctantly says yes, not because she doesn’t want to take care of the animal, but because she knows Sandy’s mother couldn’t possibly be ill. Her mother is, in fact, dead. Josiah attended the woman’s funeral. Why is Sandy lying? Is she in distress and needs help? Josiah can’t possibly know that in four hours, Sandy will disappear from the face of the earth, and no one, not even Josiah, will be able to find her.

Everything! Leading lady Madison Smythe, drops dead on Hunter’s Persian rug. What’s worse Franklin, Hunter’s brother, is arrested for her murder! Josiah sends an S.O.S. to her daughter Asa to help investigate. Asa must also discover why a love note from Hunter is found in the dead woman’s coat pocket. Josiah is ready for romance, but she doesn’t want to fall in love with a cheater, and maybe a murderer DEATH BY STALKING Josiah, Baby, her mastiff, and Lady Elsmere rush to help their neighbor, Rosie, who’s being harassed by Gage Cagle, a mean, old stump of a man. Lady Elsmere gets Gage thrown in jail for extorting money from Rosie. Glad to be rid of this loathsome man, Lady Elsmere, Josiah, and Rosie attend the Bluegrass Antique Ball. Gage shows up and threatens Josiah, Rosie, and even Baby. Dismissing Gage as nothing more than a fussbucket, Josiah enjoys the ball until she finds Rosie covered in blood, beside Gage’s near lifeless body. “I didn’t do this,” Rosie swears before fleeing. As Josiah tries to stop the bleeding, she wonders, if Rosie didn’t assault Gage, then who did?
