Murder and Gold Dust
(2026)(A book in the Rebecca Hartwell Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Dee Dee Edwards
A historic cemetery tour is supposed to raise funds—not bodies—but Rebecca Hartwell’s weekend getaway takes a disastrous detour when a theatrical reenactor ends up authentically dead.
Armed with a teacher’s sharp eye, a mystery writer’s restless curiosity, and a talent for stumbling into trouble she never asked for, Rebecca heads to the Hearth & Timber Retreat for cozy cabins and harmless ghost stories. Instead, her stolen research notes turn her into the retreat’s most talked-about suspect. Thankfully, her trusty dog Gatsby and her trio of friends—with Logan Meyers, the quietly heroic handyman who keeps showing up right when she needs him—refuse to let her face the madness alone with her .
Together, they navigate quirky locals, century-old gossip, and suspects as dramatic as the victim himself. A rival reenactor with a flair for grudges and a flustered descendant guarding family secrets both seem guilty enough to glare at in the dining hall… but neither quite fits.
Someone else is hiding behind the Retreats legends—and if Rebecca isn’t careful, she might become its next cautionary tale.
