Welcome to the Magnolia Blossom Inn where sweet tea, southern charm, and deep-rooted secrets collide in this collection of four cozy tales of murder and mystery spiced with a touch of humor.
Visit Magnolia Blossom at the foothills of the Blue Ridge. “Innvitation to Murder” meets Maddie Brooke, recent UVA college graduate, and hostess at the inn. Maddie Brooke thought inheriting her grandmother’s historic bed and breakfast would be a peaceful endeavor until Grannie’s ghost pops in demanding Maddie learn who killed her.
The inn is expanding into a party venue. But when a high-profile wedding at the inn is upended by the shocking murder of the bride’s father, Maddie is pulled into a mystery involving hidden tunnels, treasure, deceitful guests, and old family secrets in “Mysteries Beneath the Inn”. Laugh with Maddie’s Grannie, a resident sassy southern ghost. Yankee detective Allen Crawford joins Maddie along with her dog Luke, and friends Lionel and Lily when murder and mayhem come calling.
Easter egg hunts will never be the same when a skeleton is unearthed beneath the cherry trees at the Magnolia Blossom Inn in “Death Beneath the Blossoms”. Amateur sleuth Maddie Brooke finds herself tangled in a decades-old mystery rooted in jealousy, secrets, and revenge. What begins as a historic discovery soon spirals into a present-day murder investigation when a visiting veteran is found dead—and the killer may be among the inn’s newest guests.
Christmas in Clarkstown means twinkling lights, steaming mugs of cider, and the warmth of family and friends gathered at the Magnolia Blossom Inn. Maddie Brooke’s plans for a cozy Christmas are shattered when a blizzard traps her and friends plus stranded travelers, a young couple expecting their first baby and a woman seeking her birth mother, at the Inn. The storm is the least of their worries when a body is found hanging on the property then lightning splits an old tree, unleashing an angry 19th-century ghost. Maddie must untangle a century of secrets to save her guests from a killer … and a spirit seeking revenge. With the help of her own spectral Grannie and friends, she races to find a killer before the “Ghosts of Christmas Past” claim another victim.
It will take more than southern hospitality to solve the mysteries of hidden Confederate gold, family secrets, and past haunts within the collection of four exciting Maddie Brooke Mysteries.
