Malice in Midair: Beyond Meadow Wood
(2026)(The fifth book in the Dolores Maye Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Ruby Poole
Paradise is calling, but someone just died on our flight to Maui.
Instead of sun and sand, I’m chasing clues from thirty thousand feet all the way to a tropical shoreline. A social-media-hungry bridezilla, long-buried family secrets, and a missing heiress whose past refuses to stay buried are complicating matters.
After everything Derek and I went through to get to the altar, I thought the hard part was over. I was wrong. Before the pretzels are handed out, a sweet grandmother is found dead in first class, and our dream honeymoon trip takes a sharp detour into murder.
As the mystery deepens, I learn that some crimes aren’t just about who died, but about who controls the story and who gets erased from it.
Malice in Midair: Beyond Meadow Wood is a cozy mystery about chosen family, second chances, and the courage it takes to reclaim the truth. Even in paradise, the truth has a way of landing hard… and healing beautifully.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, layered secrets, and satisfying happily-ever-afters.
