A Life for a Life: A Mystery Novel (Appalachian Mountain Mysteries Book 1)
by Lynda McDaniel
Genre: Mystery | Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me — ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body.
The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off?
But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too.
And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters — both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims.
Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid

The Roads to Damascus: A Mystery Novel (Appalachian Mountain Mysteries Book 2)
by Lynda McDaniel
Genre: Mystery | Religion & Spirituality
Laurel Falls, N.C. 1989: I couldn’t believe I was in trouble again. I’d finally got what I’d always wanted… then lost it.
The trouble started when this family — a mother and two almost-grown kids — came to my school, the Hickson School of American Studies in Boone, N.C., to ask for shelter. The mother said she was dying, and they had nowhere else to go after they’d been evicted ’cause she was too sick to work. What her son earned just wasn’t enough to live on.
But that was all lies. They were just a bunch of mean-spirited, sorry con artists who stole our money and good intentions. And when they fleeced the school, they made it look like I did it! Next thing I knew, the director threw me outta school.
I snuck home to get help from my neighbor and friend, Della Kincaid. She used to be a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., and I knew she’d know what to do. She did — only she told me I had to do it alone.
Trying to find them again took everything I had — and then some. Along the way, I plowed through those mountains, sometimes meeting fellow victims who were yearning for justice too, but mostly tangling with bad men trying to stop me — permanently! I faced more twists and turns than the road to Damascus, Virginia.
There was no telling who I could trust on that long road to justice, but I ask you: at some point, don’t you have to believe in something or someone? ~Abit Bradshaw

Welcome the Little Children: A Mystery Novel (Appalachian Mountain Mysteries Book 3)
by Lynda McDaniel
Genre: Mystery | Religion & Spirituality
Laurel Falls, N.C. 1994: I would never have risked so much if it hadn’t been for that kid. Astrid Holt, a force of nature. She brightened things at Coburn’s General Store every time she stopped by for recipe ideas — at eight years old! (That should tell you something about what was going on in her household.) So when Astrid’s mother disappeared — lost in the woods? kidnapped? murdered? — how could I turn my back on her?
My friend Abit Bradshaw and I joined the search. It started close to home in our small town of Laurel Falls, then extended farther into the mountains of North Carolina. When that failed to turn up clues, the investigation reached the streets of Washington, D.C., my old stomping grounds.
Abit and I often asked ourselves if we would ever get to the bottom of all their secrets and lies. Given how broken their family was, we also wondered if we should even try.
As it turned out, we weren’t dealing with just the Holt’s troubles. The tragic stories that unfolded cast a shadow over our own splintered families. Abit worried if he’d ever find someone faithful and true, and I wondered if I could hold on to what I had. ~Della Kincaid

Murder Ballad Blues: A Mystery Novel (Appalachian Mountain Mysteries Book 4)
by Lynda McDaniel
Genre: Mystery | Religion & Spirituality
Laurel Falls, N.C. 2005: Our small town is in an uproar — there’s a serial killer on the loose in the mountains of North Carolina. At first we thought it was just one tragedy, but by the third murder, the FBI finally got involved. Trouble is, I know they’re looking in all the wrong places.
I have a keen sense of what’s really going on, but of course the FBI won’t take me serious. I’ll keep at it — too much is at stake not to. I’m working with Wallis Harding, a well-known musicologist, and we’ve got a theory we’ll keep at till they can’t ignore us. Bluegrass music may sound like something to practice and perform, but we know it’s the key to finding the killer. And keeping our families safe.
Usually Della Kincaid, my longtime friend, helps me out when I get into something like this. But she’s too busy with troubles of her own. A former crime reporter in Washington, D.C., she’s investigating some kinda fraud case that a whistleblower laid in her lap. She can’t let a good story pass, but the deeper she goes, the darker it gets.
Turns out we both have information that could help the FBI, if they’ll just listen to us… before the culprits strike again. ~Abit Bradshaw

Unwrapped: An Appalachian Mountain Christmas Mystery (Appalachian Mountain Mysteries Book 7)
by Lynda McDaniel
Genre: Mystery | Religion & Spirituality
Laurel Falls, N.C., Christmas 2012: The walnut dresser I bought my son sure brought a load of trouble. Not because one of the drawers kept sticking and the whole thing needed so much refinishing. No, I could handle that, what with being a woodworker most of my life. It was the diary hidden in a secret compartment for almost sixty year that turned everything upside down.
That diary was filled with awful stories of mistreatment and misfortune, stories that twisted up something inside of me. Especially because the teenage girl who wrote them stopped writing mid-sentence. Like someone grabbed her and took her away. Or killed her to keep secret what she’d written.
I just had to find out what happened to her. I knew what a lousy upbringing looked like, but even mine couldn’t compare with what she’d faced. I needed to know she’d made it through, like I had.
I was awful glad Della Kincaid could help. It’d been almost thirty year since she’d moved next door, buying Coburn’s General Store after Daddy drove it into the ground. She’d made a success of it, and hired a good assistant a while back, which meant she had time to join me on the search for the truth.
The timing, though, couldn’t have been worse: Christmastime and I had the boys that year. I was set on making it the best one yet, but with vile threats and truck chases and family feuds raining down on us, it was hard to squeeze in very much ho-ho-ho.
Turned out our investigation took us all through the mountains of North Carolina and up into Virginia to places I never wanted to see again. ~Abit Bradshaw
