Principal Ana Callahan knows a thing or two about turning around troubled schools, but she can’t fix the grief constricting her own heart. Now she must do both… while solving a murder.
Ana Callahan’s life fell apart, so she went out to save the world, one failing school at a time. Fifteen years later she’s back home in Florida, working her magic on the floundering elementary school of her childhood.
But Moccasin Cove is not the sunny, middle-class beach town she left behind. With one eye on her school rescue plan and the other on her exit plan, Ana gets to work and chalks up a few small victories.
Her confidence falters when a school contractor is killed, and a friend is implicated in the murder. An ambitious journalist tries to link Ana’s tragic past to the crime, and a powerful charter school corporation seizes on the political chaos by threatening a takeover of Ana’s school.
Adding “investigate murder” to her lengthy to-do list, Ana finds herself paired with the school district’s handsome new security chief. The disturbing secrets they uncover about her friend and the killer’s twisted motives, force Ana to admit she has a lot to learn about murder.
If you like your mysteries with a cozy edge, a hint of Southern snark, and always a happy ending, this series is for you. Multi-Award nominated debut series.
“…Savvy readers will enjoy watching the threads come together in this satisfying start to a new series.” — Elizabeth Sims, author of the Rita Farmer Mysteries and the Lillian Byrd Crime Series, Contributing Editor at Writer’s Digest magazine.
