Two bodies. Fifty years of secrets. One determined sleuth.
When a crumbling wall in a pre-Civil War mansion reveals the remains of a long-missing couple, the shocking discovery rattles centenarian Emelina Bidwell-who always believed her nephew and his wife simply left Milford decades ago.
Retired teacher turned reluctant sleuth Gwendolyn Strong agrees to help her elderly mentor uncover the truth. But Emelina harbors secrets of her own-promises made to the dead that now threaten to derail Gwen's investigation.
As Gwen digs deeper, she collides with a half-century of lies, cover-ups, and a town elite desperate to keep the past buried. Someone protected the killer then. Someone is protecting them still. And if Gwen gets too close, she may be the next to vanish.
Can this amateur detective crack a fifty-year-old homicide-twice-before history repeats itself?
Milford Coal & Ice is the riveting second installment of the Gwendolyn Strong Small Town Cozy Mystery Series. If you love determined heroines, twisty plots, and shocking reveals, you won't want to miss J.A. Hoda's gripping whodunit.
