Summary

No one suspects foul play when an old recluse dies behind locked doors.  The doctor claims the old woman's heart gave out, and Deputy Sheriff Trent Tyson doesn't give the case another thought until the medical examiner finds poison.  This death is just one in a series of unusual deaths happening in Tyson's quiet town, which takes the deputy sheriff on the hunt for answers while the rest of the town is cause up in local hysteria, starstruck by visiting celebrities William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow. Within a week, Deputy Sheriff Trent Tyson is on the tenuous trail of a serial killer who snuffs out the unwanted, the disabled—the most helpless and lovable—without reason and with no mercy. Reaping the Whirlwind is a historical mystery set during the real events of the Scopes evolution trial in 1925 Dayton, Tennessee. The mystery weaves through trial events in an accurate portrayal of this pivotal case that forever changed the US education system.

    Jacqueline Finch's lovely little bookstore is a special one. Not only is it brimming with books and has a cozy tea shop, but it comes staffed with two unique employees: Mrs. Hudson, Sherlock Holmes's landlady, and Mrs. Danvers, the creepy and disagreeable housekeeper from Rebecca. Despite the fact that other literary characters tend to pop out of books on a daily basis, Jacqueline loves her life, running the bookshop and hanging out with her two new friends. She even enjoys the three old ladies who live at the end of the street, and who are definitely witches. (Which sometimes comes in handy.) 
 
 
 
But just when a holiday weekend and the beginning of tourist season commences, Jacqueline discovers that someone has been breaking into the shop at night. All evidence is that they're doing some sort of conjuring or witchcraftery in her store, and that worries her. But things get a little more tense—and confusing—when Jacqueline's ex-fiance shows up in town, wanting to make amends. This could put a real damper on her budding romance with the town detective. Yet, Jacqueline has it all under control . . . until a woman comes into her store, wanting Jacqueline to put a hex on her ex-husband. The next thing Jacqueline knows, she's got a bunch of very angry women hellbent on getting revenge on their exes—and anyone else who gets in their way . . . including Jacqueline.
