From a New York Times–bestselling author, seven cozy mystery stories set in a Southern small town full of colorful characters and dark secrets.

From Toni L. P. Kelner, the Agatha award-winning author of the Laura Fleming Southern cozy mystery series, comes Crooked as a Dog’s Hind Leg, a new collection of short stories set in and around Laura Fleming’s hometown Byerly, North Carolina.

Brought together for the first time, these seven stories feature fan favorite characters such as Sue Randolph, Wynette Weston, Belva Tucker, and Byerly police chief Junior Norton, in addition to all the quirky aunts, uncles, and cousins that make up the extended Burnette family.

Crooked as a Dog’s Hind Leg also includes two Laura Fleming stories, as well as the Agatha Award-nominated “The Death of Erik the Redneck” and the Anthony and Macavity awards-nominated "Bible Belt." Packed with the same smart, witty storytelling that’s made the Laura Fleming mystery series a hit with readers and reviewers alike, Crooked as a Dog’s Hind Leg is a true Byerly homecoming.

Includes:

“Gift of the Murderer” - “Marley’s Ghost” - “The Death of Erik the Redneck” - “An Unmentionable Crime” - “Bible Belt” - “Old Dog Days” - “Lying-in-the-Road Death”
