Pray for Mercy... and Bring Bail Money
(2026)(The tenth book in the Southern Culinary Mystery series)
A novel by Lucy Lemon
When a traveling revival turns into a public spectacle, Magnolia Bluff learns that faith can be twisted—and truth can cost a life.
In Pray for Mercy… and Bring Bail Money, Book 10 in the beloved Southern Culinary Mystery series, June Mae Hatcher and the Books & Biscuits Club face their most unsettling case yet. A charismatic preacher arrives promising fire-and-brimstone renewal, but his dramatic ‘exposures’ of hidden sin leave reputations shattered and tensions rising. When he’s found dead behind the church, the town must separate conviction from control and mercy from manipulation.
As financial secrets, staged accusations, and a hidden evidence pipeline come to light, June Mae uncovers a truth more dangerous than scandal: someone profited from humiliation—and killed to protect it.
Perfect for fans of clean cozy mysteries, small-town secrets, strong female friendships, and faith-filled suspense, this Southern whodunit serves up justice, heart, and a reminder that true grace never needs a spotlight.
