Clucked From the Grave

Arlene Hughes came home to Reddin, West Virginia, to help her grandmother through a broken wrist. The last thing she needed was a murder.

The ethnobotanist has a job waiting in Asheville, a complicated family gift for listening to animals, and six thoroughly opinionated chickens who have never respected anyone’s privacy. But as Reddin dresses up for its beloved Comet Festival, local developer Doug Dunlap turns up dead—and then someone who looks exactly like him is seen walking through town.

The sheriff wants evidence. The townspeople have theories. Arlene has a flock that seems to know something, a trail of old secrets, and one exceptionally odd clue from a young hen named Peep:

Eleven.

To solve a murder in a town where everyone remembers everything differently, Arlene may have to listen to the witnesses nobody else can hear.

A witty, warmhearted paranormal cozy mystery full of Appalachian small-town charm, botanical comforts, tangled secrets, and an unforgettable flock.
