Murder Under the Mulberry Tree

Murder Under The Mulberry Tree

On a lazy late-summer morning in Conway, South Carolina, sweet tea sweating on the porch rail and a box of chocolate-covered cherries within arm's reach, private detective Sherie Burton isn't looking for trouble, but trouble has a way of finding her.
When a call comes in from Emily Williams, a woman of old Camden money and quiet grief, Sherie puts down her novel and picks up a case. Emily's son Jimmy is dead, and the official story doesn't sit right. What starts as a simple inquiry, winds through the red-clay hills of the Midlands, into hidden grudges, old betrayals, and a conspiracy that reaches further than anyone dared to look.
From the Spanish-moss-draped streets of Charleston to a fatal confrontation beneath a mulberry tree, Sherie follows the truth wherever it leads, even when it nearly costs her everything.
Rich with the sights, sounds, and slow-burn tension of the Carolina Lowcountry, Murder Under The Mulberry Tree is a story about grief and justice, courage and second chances, and the kind of woman who carries all of it without letting it break her.
The latest Sherie Burton mystery, for fans of Southern noir who like their sweet tea strong and their secrets dark.
