Murder, Malice, & Moonshine by Kay J. Cee

In the small town of Charlotte, gossip travels faster than a pickup on a gravel road—and one scandal can cling to a family for generations. When a young girl's mother mysteriously disappears, Charlotte erupts with rumors. Her father, already known for running moonshine through the backwoods, suddenly steps into a shocking new role: the town's sheriff.
Growing up under the weight of suspicion and secrets, the girl learns to survive by staying quiet and staying out of the way. And the day she's old enough to leave Charlotte behind, she doesn't look back.
But years later, unfinished business drags her home. Charlotte hasn't changed… and neither have the questions she tried to outrun. Buried stories resurface and every familiar face seems to be hiding a piece of the truth.

What really happened the night her mother disappeared?
Moonshine, Malice, & Moonshine is a Southern-slow-burn tale of twisted loyalties, family secrets, and the kind of past that refuses to stay buried.
