The Postmarked Will
Warm
When spring cleaning turns up a lost package behind a dusty post office bookcase, Cedar Springs postmistress Tessa Quill expects paperwork, not peril.
The package was addressed to Jebediah Hughes, a prickly old recluse who died nearly a year ago under suspicious circumstances. Stranger still, it came from his lawyer—the very same lawyer whose office burned down the night Jebediah died. Inside are land deeds, a hidden will, and a note pointing Tessa toward a carved lion in the grand old Hughes House.
Tessa knows everyone in Cedar Springs, Georgia, and most of their secrets. She also knows how to keep a confidence. But when the missing will threatens a valuable land deal, quiet neighbors turn nervous, old family wounds reopen, and someone in town proves willing to bury the truth for good.
With the help of Archibald, her dignified Maine Coon cat with a talent for finding trouble, Tessa follows a trail of undelivered letters, hidden ledgers, long-buried scandals, and one very inconvenient corpse.
In a town where gossip travels faster than first-class mail, Tessa must deliver the truth before another secret is marked return to sender.
Perfect for fans of Southern cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths, small-town secrets, clever cats, old houses, hidden wills, and warm whodunits with gentle suspense.
