Voodoo and Villainy
(2025)(The sixth book in the Senior Snoop Society Mysteries series)
A novel by Magnolia Murdersworth
Three septuagenarian sleuths. One stolen amulet. And a murder that's about to make their Louisiana vacation a whole lot more interesting.
Rosemary Ruckus and her friends were promised jazz, history, and a simple theft investigation in the Big Easy. What they got was humidity that could melt steel, a half-million-dollar voodoo amulet that's gone missing, and enough suspects to fill a streetcar.
There's the broke treasure hunter who's mortgaged everything chasing Confederate gold. The furious descendant of Marie Laveau who thinks the amulet should never have been in a museum. The stoner professor who needs that treasure to get tenure. The sketchy antiques dealer who'd sell his grandmother's dentures for the right price. And the terrified security guard who was conveniently on duty when the theft occurred.
Oh, and did we mention someone just got murdered in a cemetery at midnight?
Armed with Rosemary's theatrical instincts, Viola's high-society connections, and Harriet's surprising tech skills, the Senior Snoop Society is on the case. They'll brave spy cameras, stakeouts, payday loan offices, and eccentric cat ladies with cryptic warnings. Plus, they've got backup this time: Gloria (chaos in a safari vest) and Mabel (reluctant dog-sitter and professional grump).
Because in New Orleans, the only thing more dangerous than a treasure-obsessed killer is three elderly ladies who refuse to mind their own business.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club and anyone who believes retirement is just the beginning of the adventure.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
