Here is a trilogy of cozy Alton County mysteries to carry you through the cold months ahead. Join journalist Boston Meade as he is drawn into unusual cases during the 1980s Farm Crisis. Reviewers praised the stories for “the pleasures of small-town life… believable and flawed characters and “a fine sense of place.” Kirkus Reviews chose Copy Desk Murders as one of the best mysteries of 2023. Leif’s Legacy received the Midwest Book Award in 2024 and Kirkus Reviews called it a “legal thriller” that filled land conservation “with drama and tension.” An Adverse Possession pits a cardiologist against a cattleman over ownership of a mineral spring. All three are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local bookstore.
