Protecting Tanner Hollow

I enjoyed reading Lynette Eason's latest, Protecting Tanner Hollow.  This book contains four novellas that tell a bit of suspense that takes place in the sleepy town of Tanner Hollow!

These four tales Lethal Homecoming, Lethal Conspiracy, Lethal Secrets and Lethal Agenda are loosely connected.  Some of the characters in the first tale are brought through the remaining stories.
