June’s First Murder (Meadowlark Creek Mystery #1)

Nothing ever happens in Meadowlark Creek.

At least, that’s what retired librarian June Higgins has always believed.

When a well-known local man is found dead on a park bench during the town’s beloved First of June Festival, everyone assumes his death was natural. Everyone except June.

With the help of her granddaughter, Sara Lee—a high school teacher with a knack for asking questions—and their mischievous pets, Pippi and Mister Smee, June begins digging into the victim’s final days.

What starts as simple curiosity quickly turns into a full-fledged murder investigation.

As secrets surface beneath the charm of their small Southern town, June discovers that someone in Meadowlark Creek has plenty to hide—and will do almost anything to keep the truth buried.

June’s First Murder is the first book in the Meadowlark Creek Mysteries.

A warm, witty cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, clever sleuthing, gentle humor, and just enough danger to keep you guessing—June’s First Murder is perfect for readers who love classic cozies with smart twists and heartfelt depth.
