Sweet Tea and Suspects

By Jann Franklin
Sweet Tea and Suspects by Jann Franklin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The community theater is putting on "Death of a Salesman", but someone has turned the play into reality!

Who killed Daniel Sullivan, star of the show and all-around jerk? Hometown heroine Jen Guidry was arrested, but did she really do it? Maybe it was the director, or the understudy? It could have been the producer, or the naïve ingenue. There are more suspects than cups of sugar in a pitcher of sweet tea.

Can Ev and Shorty solve their fifth case and bring the killer to justice? Regardless, the show must go on!

This book is the fifth of the Small-Town Girl Mysteries, a clean faith-based series of books with no profanity, sex, or graphic violence.

Sweet Tea and Suspects Reviews

5.0
“I can say without a doubt that Jann Franklin has hit another home run with Sweet Tea and Suspects. As the title suggests, there are plethora of suspects in this cozy mystery regarding the death of an actor at a small town theater. Per the usual, our favorite investigators, Ev and Shorty, are on the case. They have plenty of help with confidential informants and small town personalities right and left. The personal stories of our main characters develop further during this 20 chapter, quick, and fun read.”

About Jann Franklin

Jann Franklin lives in the small town of Grand Cane, Louisiana.  Over three hundred other people also live in Grand Cane, and many of Jann’s chapters came from her weekly visits at the downtown coffee shop.   She would like it on the record that Grand Cane’s current mayor and aldermen are nothing like the characters in her book.  They are definitely larger than life, but in a good way.

She and her husband John enjoy Sundays at Grand Cane Baptist Church, dinner with family and friends, and watching the lightning bugs in their backyard.  Their kids come to visit, when they aren’t too busy living their big-city lives.

She graduated from high school in Russellville, another small town in Arkansas.  She obtained her accounting degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas and moved to Dallas in 1989.  She still dabbles in accounting but has taken up writing to satisfy her creative side. Like Jen Guidry, she never appreciated her small-town upbringing until she was encouraged to move back to one.  Now she cannot imagine living any other way.

If you ever make it to Grand Cane, stop by 4C Coffee Shop and say “hi.”  Rhonda Cox and her employees make amazing coffee, and they will save a seat and a smile for you.
