Local Author Visit: Robert Kerr

Mystery lovers, this is an event for you! Local author Robert Kerr will be on hand to discuss his latest novel, A Tidy Little Mess: A Bree Madison Mystery. 

Bree Madsen is a talented, determined young woman stuck in a dead-end newspaper job. On the day of her grandfather’s funeral, she learns a long-kept family secret concerning him. While working in a Nebraska bank as a young man, Bree’s grandfather had been blamed for funds that went missing. Refusing to believe the rumor, Bree puts her investigative skills to use and returns to the town where the crime was allegedly committed. In her quest to learn the truth and restore her grandfather’s reputation, Bree finds herself in a very “tidy little mess” indeed. Eventually, her grandfather’s favorite words of advice — “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!” — take on a prophetic meaning.

Set in a small village in Nebraska, A Tidy Little Mess weaves a story of mystery, romance and discovery that pulls readers in and leaves them begging for more.
