About this book

Miss Tony Cooper works to keep the Apple Creek School District running smoothly until circumstances begin to destabilize her world. When missing funds prompt a fraud investigation, Tony anticipates routine work—instead, she encounters whispers, suspicion, and a growing unease that something is wrong. The situation escalates when a principal is found dead and the superintendent is taken into custody. As rumors spread and media attention intensifies, Tony is determined to uncover the truth beneath gossip and incomplete accounts, particularly because someone close to her may be involved. Drawing on her instincts and the help of a perceptive duck, Tony works to identify what others have missed. Bells, Binders and Bodies is the first book in the Apple Creek School District Mysteries series, a cozy spin-off of the Apple Creek R-Park Department Mysteries.
