Murder at the Family Reunion
(2025)(The sixth book in the Emmy Forester Cozy Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Arden Gray
Family, feuds, and fried chicken. And one killer ready to ruin the potluck.
A perfect recipe for murder.
Emmy Forester, Oddity Shop owner and reluctant small-town sleuth, expected Granny sass and potato salad wars at her first family reunion, not a body on the lawn.
But when a lying local legend turns up dead, Emmy finds herself knee-deep in secrets thicker than Granny Gussie’s gravy.
Armed with her nosy dachshund, Wyatt Burp, and a chorus of smack-talking Grannies who treat gossip like gospel, Emmy stumbles into a web of hidden history and half-buried scandals.
The suspects line up fast: a bitter business partner nursing betrayal, a resentful relative with an alibi shakier than Granny Pearlie’s gelatin mold, and a family friend whose Sunday smile hides a sinister secret.
But as Emmy digs deeper, she realizes the killer is far closer than anyone suspects. One wrong move could be a recipe for her own obituary.
‘Norman Rockwell meets Harper Lee—with a hat tip to Minnie Pearl. A warm, witty small-town cozy mystery where Emmy Forester’s Appalachian sleuthing blends front-porch Americana, found family, and a twisty whodunit.’ - Editorial Review
