Reaping the Whirlwind: A Trent Tyson Historical Mystery

by Rosey Dow

Overview

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 U.S. education system.

Editorial Reviews

Reaping the Whirlwind is a fun, interesting read. In a good old-fashioned murder/mystery, author Rosey Dow has infused the narrative with historical happenings that at the time polarized and captivated an entire nation. For some, Christianity itself was on trial during the Scopes Trial and as someone who loves historical fiction mixed artfully together with real-life events, I was enthused and excited watching the story unfold. The author does a tremendous job of throwing out "red herrings" as to the identity of the murderer and I have to admit that this even had me fooled for much of the story...The nature of the Scopes trial will allow readers to question unwavering faith in any shape or form and this is one of the shining aspects of this story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can highly recommend it.
