A Not So Shallow Grave
(2026)(The eighth book in the Holt Jacobs Mystery series)
A novel by Lily Stirling
One hole. Two corpses. Three’s a crowd.
I accepted an invitation to a police-supervised reunion with an old enemy.
What I didn’t expect was a body retrieval uncovering a second set of bones.
To dig myself even deeper, I agreed to a secret engagement.
Now I’m stuck navigating the treacherous waters of keeping secrets from my fiancée’s family and searching for a killer who’s been hiding in plain sight.
The murder happened years ago. No one has an alibi. Yet, every clue points to my future mother-in-law’s group of friends.
She already doesn’t like me.
Is justice worth getting one of her best friends arrested?
Holt Jacobs isn’t for everyone. He’s a sarcastic introvert who can never get quite enough coffee. Becoming a sarcastic sleuth was unexpected, but as an engineer, Holt is used to solving puzzles.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
