Welcome to the Magnolia Blossom Inn, where sweet tea, southern charm, and deep-rooted secrets collide.
Recent college graduate Maddie Brooke thought inheriting her grandmother's historic bed and breakfast at the gateway to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley would be a peaceful endeavor. 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.
With Detective Allen Crawford-the handsome but frustrating Yankee-hot on the trail, and her loyal friends Lionel, a tech-savvy jokester, and Lily, a no-nonsense physician, by her side, Maddie must untangle the web of lies surrounding the wealthy Collier and Beauregard families. As tensions rise, suspicion points in every direction. Even the inn's housekeeper, Sally, becomes a suspect.
To make matters even more complicated, Maddie's ghostly Grannie isn't shy about offering some spirited advice from beyond the grave, while her trusty German shepherd, Luke, sniffs out more than just leftover cheese snacks.
With a centuries-old Confederate treasure at stake and a killer on the loose, Maddie will need more than southern hospitality to solve this case. But can she keep the Magnolia Blossom Inn-and her heart-intact before the killer strikes again? Maddie explores secret tunnels that date back before the Civil War in her search for the truth about the murder and the rumored Confederate treasure. Maddie fights for her life when she falls into the hands of the crazed killers bent on revenge.
Murder, mystery, and a touch of humor make this cozy page-turner one you won't want to miss!
