Cracker Jacked: A Juli Butler Mystery (Book 1)

What happens when your friend is the town Sheriff and you're his number one suspect?

When news of her mother's passing reaches her, a guilt-ridden Julianna Butler returns home ready to make amends with her past. Turning her mother's antique store into an organic cafe for people and pets seems to be the fresh start she needs. Only she doesn't count on her old friend, Chase Hargrave, being the town Sheriff or that she'd be his number one suspect when a man turns up dead in her mother's rose garden.

As clues as discovered, there seems to be more going on in New Hope than murder. Juli will stop at nothing, even if it means teaming up with a feisty parrot and Chase's needy sheepdog to clear her name and gain his trust.

Can two old friends abide by the rules, find a killer and make peace...or has Juli cooked up more trouble than she can handle?
