A 2026 Silver Falchion Award Finalist for Best Cozy Mystery
A 2026 American Fiction Awards Finalist (Mystery/Suspense: Cozy)
Hoarding Henny Wiley returns in the highly anticipated sequel to Dumpster Dying!
Henny Wiley isn't just a collector, she's a hoarder. And her collection, er, hoard, keeps growing--and attracting all the wrong attention. Her nosy neighbor, her family, the sheriff, and Adult Services are all putting on the pressure for her to clean up her property--but she ain't cleaning without a fight!
However, her dumpster cache is the least of her concerns when her no-good rotten-to-the-core brother, Cash Cooper, shows up on her crowded doorstep. Wherever Cash appears, trouble is sure to follow. Within days of his arrival, Henny's friend dies, jewels go missing, a gun store is robbed, and Henny's own collection is threatened. Most people in the small town of Plumridge, Kentucky, are certain Cash is to blame, but Henny isn't convinced. Cash may have always had sticky fingers, but there's no way he's a murderer! Worse, the sheriff begins to think Henny may be assisting her brother's criminal activities. With the help of her husband, Walter--rather, his ghost--and her sister, Ida Mae, Henny aims to clear her and her brother's names. That is, if she isn't killed first!
