Digging up death

For fans of Susan May Warren, Claudia Mair Burney, Rene Gutteridge, and Janet Evanovich. ?Dig into a fun story with Digging Up Death. It's got all the dirt you want--a tangled mystery, a quirky heroine, hints of romance, and page-turning action. Conroy keeps the story real and delves into the clean and the not so clean parts of life. Highly recommended. -Christy Barritt, author of the Squeaky Clean Mysteries series ?Gina Conroy has written a smart, fast-paced mystery in which vulnerable characters rise to the occasion. Single-mom Mari?s life is anything but mundane. Scars from her past mingle with the danger of her present while romance and a journey of faith impatiently wait their turn for a walk in her five-inch leather boots.? -Tanya Dennis, freelance editor, In the Daileis writer, blogger ?If you've ever wanted to see a mom rock the Nancy Drew role, this book is for you. Digging Up Death kept me equally enthralled with the subject of archaeology, the mind-boggling mystery, and the depth of characters. Besides being a fast-paced and fun read, this story stands out for its powerful message on forgiving yourself and unique perspective of redemption.? -Angela Ruth Strong, author of Love Finds You in Sun Valley, Idaho BOOK DESCRIPTION: To unearth a killer, you have to get your fingernails dirty.
