Secret Sleuth

🕵️ New life, old secrets, a talent for clues -- what can go wrong?

Sheila Mackey is a sleuth with a secret – a past she wants to keep hidden. But after years with her mystery-writing great aunt, she discovers she also has a knack for unraveling the truth behind murders, from the deck of a cruise ship to her new Kentucky home with her rescue dog Gracie.

Then there's her sidekick Clara, who keeps dragging and nudging her into new inquiries as an amateur sleuth. And the hunky ex-cop who's a danger to both her secret and her heart.
