Mystery at Monrovia Castle
(2025)(The first book in the Rebecca Orange Castle Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Valerie Brandy
Escape to Monrovia, where the lavender lattes are blooming, the giraffes eat pasta, the Duke might just steal your heart—and murder lurks behind every turret.
When Rebecca Orange’s life falls apart—dumped by her boyfriend and fired from her job in the same breath—she thinks she’s hit rock bottom. But fate has other plans. A surprise job offer whisks her away to the storybook village of Atwood, nestled in the hills of a tiny European country few maps bother to mark.There, in a centuries-old castle straight out of a dream, she’s tasked with caring for the royal menagerie—including a pasta-loving giraffe, a moody hawk, and her own fiercely loyal Tibetan Mastiff dog, Joe. The locals are eccentric, the flower shop smells like heaven, and the castle's broodingly handsome Duke might just be harboring a crush… or a secret.
Life in Monrovia is nearly perfect—until the castle’s head architect turns up dead. Worse, Rebecca’s closest new friend is the prime suspect.
Now, between sipping tea in sun-drenched courtyards and dodging over-curious nobility, Rebecca must unravel a tangled mystery that threatens to bring everything crashing down. But she’s not about to let this fairy tale end in tragedy.
Filled with humor, heart, and a dash of romance, Mystery at Monrovia Castle is the perfect blend of cozy charm and edge-of-your-seat intrigue.
