The first in The Jailer's Daughter Mysteries series, The Bloody Shoe Affair introduces readers to two fiery and witty amateur sleuths, Christi and Lily. Set in the summer of 1968, Christi comes to town to visit her family for her grandparents’ upcoming 50th anniversary. Rather than staying at the farm, she is stuck staying with her older cousin Lily in town. Not only is Lily known for troublemaking, but her house is attached to the jailhouse, and it scares Christi to no end. Rather than talk about The Beatles and the hottest new fashions, Lily drags Christi into an active murder case; the most gruesome crime to ever take place in Roselyn, Mississippi. A pregnant woman is murdered, and her husband stands accused. But something seems off to the two teenagers. Against her better judgement, Christi finds she is enjoying playing detective and she really does want to poke around and solve the crime. Laugh out loud funny, thrilling and unique; The Bloody Shoe Affair promises to be the start of a great mystery series that will appeal to both adults and teens. To make it even more interesting, this series is written by Joy York, a local author hailing from Greenwood.
