As Naomi finally settles into her childhood home town, her past comes back to hound her with bad dog results. And her life was going so well...
Naomi is taken aback when she spies her ex-boyfriend strolling through downtown Harmony Grove. She thought she left him behind in Charleston. With him is his best friend (and notorious troublemaker), and a girl who has mysterious connections to a shady resident of Naomi's small town.
His arrival couldn't have come at a worse time. Naomi's relationship with Chief Reed has stepped up a notch and things are getting serious. That is, until her ex's best friend is found face down at the edge of her property.
The whole drama has Winston and Daisy on alert since her ex-boyfriend can't seem to leave her alone. And people keep lurking outside her house.
Now, she's tangled in a mess she didn't ask for when her ex is arrested for the murder of his best friend, and it's up to Naomi to figure out why he was killed, and how he ended up in her back yard.
Can she find the connection between her past and her present before her ex-boyfriend upends her tranquility or is she doomed to have her past dig its way back into her life and threaten the blooming relationship with the chief?
The seventh book in the southern, small town Naomi & Winston Mysteries, Home Away From Bone contains no adult situations or gore, only fun and high jinks as the heroine solves mysteries and chases behind her perpetually confused, endearingly curious, and continuously chatty Chihuahua. This story has a light paranormal element.
