Digging Up Bones

About the book

Introducing a fresh series by the renowned author Aimee Gilchrist, set in the most unexpected of locations...

Helen Harding has a knack for choosing the wrong partners. Her past relationships range from simply unmotivated to downright criminal, with every shade in between. When her fourth, and definitively final, fiancé is arrested for involvement with underage individuals, Helen is embarrassed and eager to leave town. The perfect escape presents itself in a sudden request for help from her aunt Penny, a hard-drinking, chain-smoking woman from rural Texas with flamboyant press-on nails, a fondness for men from roadside stops, and a life-threatening situation...unfortunately culminating in tragedy before Helen can intervene.

Whether it's a desire for redemption or retribution, Helen feels obligated to uncover the truth behind Penny's violent demise. Despite the evident irritation of the deputy sheriff, Aodhagan MacFarley – whom Helen adamantly refuses to engage with regardless of his undeniable charm in his well-tailored suit and gleaming shoes. Determined, with or without his cooperation, Helen sets out to investigate a string of suspects harboring dark secrets. As time ticks away, tensions rise, and the danger looms closer, Helen must tread carefully to avoid becoming the next victim in the treacherous town of Birdwell, Texas!
