Murder, Mayhem, And Main Street

If someone ever tells you that small towns are boring and that nothing ever happens in them, just shake your head and walk away because they have no idea what they are talking about! New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell spent much of his working life publishing small town newspapers on the Pacific Northwest coast and in Arizona and has seen it all, from scandal to murder and everything in between. Not only did all of that small town drama fill the pages of his newspapers, it also gave him the basis for several bestselling mystery series, all set in small towns across America.

Here are four of them, including the story of a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who came to a sad and sordid end, a small town lawman suffering a personal tragedy when violent crime hits close to home, a deputy in rural Florida who becomes involved in a case dating back decades, and an everyday Joe who went shopping for Black Friday specials and found his life turned upside down.

As you delve into these books, rich with characters who will remind you of the people you see every day, we’re sure you will agree that small towns are far from boring!
