FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO — Mystery readers have another case to solve as author Rebecca Benston releases The Harder They Fall: The Rona Shively Stories, the eleventh installment in her long-running Rona Shively mystery series.
Known for blending suspense, humor, and memorable characters, the series follows amateur investigator Rona Shively as she uncovers the truth behind crimes that are rarely as straightforward as they first appear. Each novel combines compelling mysteries with the everyday realities of family, friendship, faith, and resilience, creating stories that resonate long after the final chapter.
The Harder They Fall finds Rona facing one of her most intriguing investigations yet, where appearances are deceiving, loyalties are tested, and every answer uncovers another question.
As the mystery unfolds, readers are reminded that the greatest challenges often reveal the deepest truths about the people involved.
"The Rona Shively series has always been about more than solving mysteries," Benston said. "It's about ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances. Readers laugh with these characters, worry about them, and celebrate with them because they feel like people they've known all their lives."
Often described as having a distinctly Gen X voice, the Rona Shively series blends quick wit, sharp observations, and relatable life experiences with page-turning mysteries. Longtime fans appreciate the familiar cast of characters, while new readers can easily enjoy each story as a standalone novel.
The Harder They Fall: The Rona Shively Stories is available in paperback and eBook formats through Higher Ground Books & Media and major online book retailers.
