Blue Bucket

Tracking down a killer is not a part of Kit O'Maley's life plan. She's a dedicated teacher, content with her safe, uncomplicated existence until it's blown to bits by an unexpected invitation. Soon Kit is saddled with a historic home, an antique shop, a pack of money-hungry kinfolk, and snoopy neighbors who seem to have their own agendas. And everywhere she turns she's confronted by whispers from the past-a cache of gold nuggets, Oregon's lost Blue Bucket. To top it off, Kit must conquer her fears and uncover a murderer before she becomes the next victim.

Suzanne Grant caught the writing bug during her growing-up years on Central Oregon’s high desert. Her life revolved around a wealth of local kinfolk, small town life, music, and horses. At an early age, she grew to appreciate her native state’s natural beauty and unique culture and the many mysteries peppered throughout its history. Adulthood found her living in the Willamette Valley, where she raised two sons and pursued a career in education. As a reading and writing teacher, she helped others enjoy the magic of words. Now she’s immersed in that magic as she pursues one of her greatest loves-writing mystery novels.
