A young, recently-separated waitress at H & P's Diner in sleepy southwestern Virginia, she hears more than her fair share of neighborhood gossip while serving plates of hash and peach cobbler. But when a reclusive old man, Dickerson, shows up at the diner one day, only to drop dead a few minutes later, Daisy quickly learns that some secrets are more dangerous to keep than others--especially when there's money and moonshine involved. Daisy finds herself caught between whiskey and guns; a handsome ATF agent and a moonshine-brewing sweet talker; and a painful past and a dangerous present.

There's trouble brewing in her small town, and before it passes, many secrets will come to light. Carol Miller makes a memorable and charming debut in Murder and Moonshine, the first of an intriguing new series"--
