Description
Jhonni Laurent is the first female sheriff of Field's Crossing, Indiana--and now she has her first murder case Two days after a blizzard hits Field's Crossing, Indiana, Sheriff Jhonni Laurent discovers the frozen body of a high school senior under a fifteen-foot pile of snow and ice. Murder is rare in farm country, and this death marks the beginning of Jhonni's first homicide case. Just as the investigation gets underway, Jhonni's opponent for sheriff from four years ago wages a bitter reelection battle to oust her. Then, Jhonni finds another body, and further complications arise when a century-old feud between two families reaches its breaking point. Soon, a slew of newspaper articles causes the Indiana State Election Board to doubt her credibility. Jhonni must fight to maintain her reputation, keep the small farming community together, and find the murderer at large--all while demons from her own past threaten to crush her. Can she find the killer and mend her battered spirit before it's too late? Perfect for fans of J. A. Jance and C. J. Box While the novels in the Jhonni Laurent Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: Bones Under the Ice Cracks Beneath the Surface

Reviews
"Set in a small town and filled with twists and turns, Bones Under the Ice is a chilling story of secrets and murder that will keep you guessing." --Charlie Donlea, USA Today best-selling author "A slow-burn police procedural . . . with potential for a popular series." --Publishers Weekly "A new series perfect for fans of J.A. Jance and Craig Johnson or anyone who likes small-town settings, small-town secrets, and lots of characters." --Library Journal "Sheriff Jhonni Laurent, flawed but decent, is up against a murder case, a political enemy, and winter itself in Mary Ann Miller's cracker of a debut. Bones Under the Ice is a satisfying police procedural, an absorbing character study, a love letter to a harsh landscape, and the perfect series opener. I'll be back for book two." --Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of In Place of Fear "Bones Under the Ice is an engrossing mystery novel in which a small-town sheriff's skills are tested when she's tasked with solving cold-minded murders." --Foreword Reviews "Set in rural, blizzard-frozen Indiana, Mary Ann Miller's Bones Under the Ice launches a chilling police procedural series. From page one when Jhonni Laurent brushes snow off a frozen hand, the reader will be rooting for this likeable sheriff." --Vinnie Hansen, author of Lostart Street
