Synopsis

Diggin' Up The Dirt-Sweet as honey, soured by murder! Everyone in Cottonwood loves the new bakery, Sweet Shop. Until a Cottonwood resident is found dead with a half-eaten donut in her hand.

Sheriff Kenni Lowry has her hands full. With a new murder in town and a new deputy to train, she's not sure if she's ever gonna get this booger solved.

Sheriff Elmer Sims comes to the rescue, stepping up as Kenni's ghost deputy. As the ex-dead-now-ghost deputy and Kenni's Poppa, there's clues beyond the sprinkles in the donut that only he can see.

Add to Kenni's stress, Finn Vincent's, Kenni's hunky boyfriend and new sheriff of Clay's Ferry, parents have come to town to meet Kenni and her parents. And Kenni's mama ain't too happy. As they say in the South, nobody's happy if mama ain't happy.

With Poppa's keen insight and Kenni's determination, Kenni focuses all her attention on bringing the killer to justice before the yeast rises and another dead body turns up.

Save room for dessert. You don't want to miss this Southern mystery!

Blowin' Up A Murder-Love and marriage go together like grits and gravy...or do they?

Welcome to the little town of Cottonwood, Kentucky, a charming town with fun business names like Tiny Tina's Hair Salon and Cowboy's Catfish.

Sheriff Lowry becomes public enemy number one when she shuts down a wedding reception when one of the catering waiters ends up dead impaled with a wedding umbrella. The bride is not happy and proceeds to beat Sheriff Lowry with her bridal bouquet!

Kenni and Poppa are on the case! How lucky that Kenni is already there to start her investigation! She's got a bratty bride, a crass groomsman and dead waiter! If the murder at the wedding was not enough, she's got to get to solve this so that her friends business isn't ruined!

Heavens To Bribery-"Shucks, y'all! Sheriff Kenni Lowry is back and her life's as twisted as a snake with a bellyache. A marriage proposal from the dashing Finn Vincent could mean a 'happily ever after,' but it also risks sending her ghostly Poppa to the great beyond for good. Can she reckon with love while keeping her spectral sidekick?

Just when you think Kenni's plate is full, a murdered John Doe is discovered on the train tracks. Poisoned and unknown, this mystery man's arrival stirs up a hornet's nest in the heart of Cottonwood.

In 'Heavens to Bribery,' dig into a hearty helping of Southern charm, ghostly companionship, and a murder mystery as thick as Kentucky gravy. Strap in for a tale that's more gripping than a bull rider at the rodeo, as Kenni races to uncover the truth behind this deadly puzzle.
