A Libri GmbH A Donation to Die For

The box was labeled LINENS.
There was not one thread of linen in it.

Inside the Finch estate donation - mislabeled, recently repacked, heavy things pressed down on top of paper - Nora Bell Hartley finds a church directory, a child's silver bracelet, and a ledger that makes the most composed woman in Juniper Gap go quiet. Nora has spent twelve years receiving what people give away. She knows donated objects carry truth. She is not prepared for what this one carries back.

When Ellis Ransom, the town's most respected retired deacon, dies in his truck after Tuesday Table supper, the prayer chain calls it natural. But Nora has seen the ledger. She has read the missing page. She knows Ellis was about to confess - not to God, but to the people his silence harmed. Someone made sure he never did.

Now Nora has to find that someone. Without destroying the donor trust that keeps Mercy House alive. Without humiliating the innocent. Without repeating the very thing that got Ellis killed: using good intentions to bury the truth.

She has run Mercy House long enough to know mercy and reputation are not the same thing.

She is about to find out how much courage it takes to act on the difference.

A Donation to Die For is the first book in The Mercy House Mysteries - a Christian cozy mystery series set in Juniper Gap, Tennessee, where donated objects carry evidence and Tuesday Table always has one more chair.

Clean content. No profanity. No graphic violence. No explicit content. Sweet slow-burn romance.
