Listen To Chapter 1 of Azaleas and Arrests A Cozy Mystery

When the body shop on Third Street goes up in flames, Presley Thurman-Sands does not need to hear the rest. Her brother Jesse works there. Her brother Jesse is not answering his phone.

By the time the firefighters pull a body from the wreckage, half of Hunter's Hollow already has its story. Jesse was the last one seen at the shop. Jesse is nowhere to be found. And the rare classic car he was working on, a 1920s beauty worth more than the entire block, might be the reason a man is dead.

Presley knows her brother. Free spirit, sweet talker, occasional disaster. But not a killer. With her English Mastiff Bella and her duck Topknot trailing along, she starts asking the kind of questions someone in town would very much like her to stop asking.

A century old heist. A small town secret. And one florist who refuses to let her brother take the fall.
