Greedy Bones by Carolyn Haines delivers one of the darkest and most emotionally charged installments in the Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series.

Determined to uncover the source of the outbreak, Sarah Booth and her partner Tinkie investigate a controversial land deal, corrupt business interests, and a web of secrets tied to the town’s past. As fear grips the community, Sarah Booth must rely on grit, intuition, and her ghostly companion Jitty—whose cryptic warnings hint at dangers Sarah Booth has yet to uncover.
