The Old Buzzard Had It Coming

On the Oklahoma plains in 1912, Alafair Tucker is a farm wife with nine children who has always considered her lazy, hard-drinking neighbor Harley Day to be nothing but trouble. When Harley's frozen body turns up in a snowdrift, the authorities seem ready to dismiss it as an accident, but Alafair isn't satisfied with easy answers. With her sharp eye for human nature and a stubborn streak that serves her well, she begins asking questions that others are afraid to ask, uncovering secrets that some in the community would rather keep buried. This historical mystery follows a determined woman who trusts her instincts as she searches for the truth behind her neighbor's death.
