Murder in the Reflection
(2026)(Book 11 in the Maggie Wright Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Tessa Aura
Some mysteries are found in the water. Others, in the mirror.
The truth was there all along… hiding in the reflection.
When a woman is discovered dead beneath the willow trees at Ashford Crossing’s scenic pond trail, private investigator Maggie Wright expects secrets.
She just doesn’t expect half the town to have them.
Elaine Marsh quietly helped troubled locals carry burdens too heavy to face alone—meeting them on a park bench far from curious eyes. A grieving widower. A struggling addict. A respected professional barely holding things together.
Every one of them had something to hide.
With her loyal canine partner, Biscuit, and PI partner Harper Rhodes at her side, Maggie follows a trail of private meetings, cryptic notes, and uneasy lies. But the deeper she digs, the more the case reflects something she didn’t expect:
After finally putting old ghosts to rest, Maggie is beginning to realize solving the past and building a future aren’t the same thing.
But someone in town is watching.
Waiting.
And willing to kill again to keep the truth buried.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
