If Tusquittee Could Talk

If Tusquittee Could Talk

No one keeps secrets better than the dead or the sleeping—and the tiny town of Tusquittee has been sleeping for a while. Until charming business tycoon-turned-writer Sterling Jamison splashes into town and buys the looming house on the hill, where he can write and find himself... and the answers to questions about his family’s past here that have haunted him since before his parents’ suspicious death on the highway. Questions about his own fortune, where it came from, and now, whether their deaths were an accident at all. The deeper he digs, the louder the town becomes, until a new body is unearthed that calls into question the quiet history of the town and who everyone says they are—the sunshiney small-town sheriff, the sunshinier waitress he’s begun to fall for, the old friend of his mom’s who can’t seem to keep her nose clean, and the brother he loves and hates in equal measure. A riveting mystery from Lori McAfee that is equal parts warm, small-town reverie and chilling, high-stakes thriller , If Tusquittee Could Talk explores the skeletons present in the closets of a tiny town—and what happens when those skeletons begin to whisper between sips of sweet tea.
