Cousins and Chaos
(2026)(The third book in the Brenna Wickham Haunted Mystery series)
A novel by Kathleen J Easley
Beware what lurks in the forest...
With the discovery of Brenna’s biological father comes the unexpected unveiling of another whole branch of the family tree, including a cousin Brenna’s age with similar traits and characteristics. They hit it off immediately and before long they realize they have more in common than hair and eye color. It seems that ghost sighting runs in the family.
A casual stroll in the woods turns hair-raising when they encounter a ghoulish spirit, but the mystery really begins when the murdered body of an unknown man is uncovered partially buried in the underbrush. Who is this man, who killed him, and how did he get there? The forest lies in an acre of undeveloped land in Brenna’s neighborhood that was once part of an early homestead. The more time she spends there, the more secrets the trees reveal.

‘Easley presents a lighthearted series mystery featuring ghostly apparitions and complex family ties... It’s springtime, the sun shines, and flowers bloom; the characters are likable, and the story moves along briskly, with enough surprises to keep readers’ interest...and the mystery is neatly wrapped up to everyone’s satisfaction. A pleasantly sweet cozy whodunit with supernatural elements.’ – Kirkus Reviews
