Forget-Me-Nots and Forgotten Graves (Brannigan Mysteries)

Some Secrets were Never Meant to Stay Buried... Garden center owner Aileen Brannigan has finally found her footing in the small Texas town of Silvergrove. With her business expanding and a team of local teens under her wing, things are looking up — until broken ground reveals long-buried bones. When excavation for a controversial supermarket development unearths two bodies, Aileen reluctantly steps into her role as amateur detective once again. The victims — a teenage girl, Dana Mitchell, and a teacher, Camden Matheson, who disappeared four years earlier — stir up painful memories throughout the town, especially for Mayor Tamryn Mitchell, who has been Aileen's closest friend since her arrival in Silvergrove. As Aileen and her teen detective team dig through layers of corruption, blackmail, and small-town politics, they uncover a trail leading to the last place Aileen wants to look — the mayor's own home. With organized crime figures threatening her investigation and her own unresolved family wounds mirroring the case, Aileen must decide what matters more: friendship or justice. In this second Brannigan Mysteries novel, Aileen discovers that bringing truth to light means first confronting the shadows in her own heart.
