Justifiable homicide

The residents of the small town of Lachlan, Florida, were shaken when the remains of two bodies were found under the roots of a fallen tree last year. Although Sara Medlar, her niece Kate, and Jack Wyatt lack any investigative experience, they find themselves in the middle of this mystery, trying to uncover a decades-old secret. After they narrowly escape a killer, they swear they will never get involved in anything so dangerous again – until Janet Beeson is murdered.
When Janet's body is discovered, everyone is shocked by such a violent murder. The sweet old lady was murdered, stabbed, and poisoned, but no one can imagine who would want to harm one of the town's kindest and most helpful residents. Sara, Kate, and Jack are determined to leave the case to the professionals. Soon, however, people start visiting them, eager to tell their stories and clear their names before the trio who solved the Morris murders. Even the sheriff hopes they will help crack the mystery of a crime that has no obvious explanation or motive. And as the town's residents start talking, it becomes clear that there are far more secrets buried in quiet Lachlan than anyone could have ever imagined.
