The Missing Brooch at the Morning Glory
(2025)(The fifth book in the Marigold Lake Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Reva Davenport
A stolen heirloom. A Bunco night gone rogue. And a Boston Terrier who refuses to stay out of the evidence pile.
Claire Fisher was hoping for a peaceful Marigold Festival. Instead, she's juggling a packed B&B, an antique appraiser with a flair for the dramatic, and a family feud over a missing brooch that could spark a full-on Peterson meltdown.
When the priceless heirloom vanishes during a themed Bunco weekend, suspicion lands squarely on Claire’s guests—and possibly on Claire herself. With the Petersons pointing fingers, Mrs. Ainsworth quoting Shakespeare, and Sadie the Boston Terrier sniffing out glitter trails in the garden, it’s clear this mystery won’t be solved with tea and shortbread.
Detective Matt Hale is trying to play it cool, but he’s up to his elbows in contradictory alibis, misfiled antiques, and Claire’s increasingly "helpful" theories. Luckily, she’s got backup: Hannah with her hair-brained schemes, Barb with binoculars and baked goods, and Finn…still working on the plumbing. Mostly.
As secrets unravel and a long-lost family connection comes to light, Claire must figure out who’s lying, who’s looting, and who really left that pink satin scrap near the lake trail. If she doesn't solve the case soon, the only thing getting appraised will be her reputation.
Perfect for fans of charming small towns, twisty mysteries, and a heroine who won’t stop sleuthing—even if it means crashing a chapel picnic in wedge sandals.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
