Death of a Venomous Valentine
(2026)(The sixth book in the Lily Gayle Lambery Mystery series)
A Story by Susan Boles
Valentine’s Day in Mercy, Mississippi is supposed to bring hearts, flowers, and Southern romance. Instead, it delivers murder on Miss Edna’s back steps. And Lily Gayle Lambert is once again pulled straight into the middle of a mystery nobody asked for, but everybody’s talking about.
When a charming stranger winds up dead behind Miss Edna’s house, and Missy'''s new beau turns out to be oilier than a grease spot at the Waffle House, Lily Gayle and her best friends must untangle a web of romance, lies, and long‑buried family secrets. With Sheriff Ben trying his best to keep her out of official business (good luck with that) and Miss Edna fanning the flames of every rumor in town, Lily Gayle has her hands full.
And when Missy sends out a plea for help, the stakes get higher than the winning kite in a contest.
Armed with determination, small‑town wisdom, and just enough sass to get herself in trouble, Lily Gayle is racing the clock to uncover the truth behind the mysterious private investigator, the suspicious suitor, and the Valentine’s message that should never have been delivered.
In Mercy, the course of true love never did run smooth…
But murder? That seems to show up right on time.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
