About this listen

The third book in the Carly Moore series by Denise Grover Swank.

The dead can’t speak.

After months of living in the Smoky Mountains town of Drum, Tennessee, Carly knows firsthand the financial hardship the citizens face. Still, she can’t muster the same excitement as everyone else when town patriarch Bart Drummond breaks ground on his new resort that promises more jobs and money.

But the project comes to a screeching halt when the construction crew unearths a grisly discovery — an unmarked grave. The discovery threatens Carly’s ex-boyfriend when the authorities learn the body belongs to his old girlfriend who had supposedly left town…and Wyatt is suspect number one.

Carly’s sure Wyatt’s innocent, even if the rest of the town, and more importantly, the sheriff’s department, is ready to lock him up. Carly has moved on from Wyatt, but now he’s asking for her help to clear his name. In exchange, he’ll tell her what he knows about his father. Information that will help her bring Bart down.

But danger lurks around every corner, and as Carly puts her life on the line to help the man who betrayed her, she begins to question everything and everyone around her…especially Wyatt Drummond.

More Crime Solving from Carly in Drum

Third Carly Moore book, “One Foot in the Grave “
Third case to solve.

Carly is back with her detective hat on , showing up the incompetent Township of Drum’s police force

( with the exception of Marco )

This time the “grave” in the title belongs to Heather.

The manipulative ex girlfriend of Carly’s first Drum love interest, Wyatt Drummond,

Heather was presumed to have left town for Tulsa, after a failed attempt at extorting money only to receiving a 5 thousand dollar payout from Wyatt’s corrupt Daddy, Bart.

But NOW, her remains how shown up on a piece of land that used to belong to local, morally grey, drug distributor, Bingham.
A piece of land now being developed into a resort by none other than Bart Drummond.

So.

As Wyatt is arrested as the first person of interest, Carly and her sidekick Marco set out to find out what went down before Heather “ allegedly “ left town by interviewing all her last known associates.

Of course, as usual, this line of approach causes ripples.

And, as usual , as Carly draws closer to finding out the truth, she places herself in danger. once again.

In this third instalment, Carly is now a permanent beloved member of the Drum community.

She has a father daughter type relationship with crotchety, Hank.

Friends at Max’s Tavern, were she works, so for once she feels she has found her people.

And , gosh darn it! She is so sweet, always saying and doing right by everyone.

They love her.

As she uncovers Heather’s last moments, her relationship with Marco slowly starts slipping out of the friends zone, into … cough! Love?

However, just when we start shipping these two, Carly confronts Wyatt once more .
Opening up about how she loves him and. he loves her, but there situation is untenable, as Wyatt is unable to completely open up about his past

So.
Once again they are at an impasse.

On to the next one

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
