After practicing law for forty-five years in a small city, R.O. Kazary retired, making time to continue writing novels and short stories. This is his first book to be published. Murder in Sweet Water Springs is the initial volume in the Sheriff Wyman series. This is a traditional murder mystery set in 1960 that tells the stories of life in a small upstate village as the sheriff and his slightly odd but endearing staff set to work solving the case. R.O. and Sharon live on an Appalachian farm in Western Maryland. Together, they create the eccentric characters and engaging plots of the Sweet Water Springs mysteries.
