Bred to the Bone : Eternal Secrets at Hunter’s Water Mill, a mystery set in the Missouri Ozarks town of Hickory Bend.

Caroline Hudson, a widow who moves to the Ozarks to start over, works part-time at a renovated water-operated mill turned into a tour stop/shop. She and her boss find a hidden bank safe in the attic. What it contains, certain people would rather not be public knowledge. The extent of their determination leads to stalkings, snakes, and murders.
