(2025)(The fourth book in the Maggie Nelson Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Bonnie Reed
A Maggie Nelson Cozy Mystery
Halloween drapes Wheatfield in shadow, and Maggie Nelson prefers the warm glow of her library to the season’s sinister games.
But when Lucy persuades her to attend a séance at the Old Mortimer house, Maggie finds herself surrounded by flickering candles, whispered invocations, and walls that seem to breathe with secrets.
Even Watson, her scrappy terrier, bristles at the gloom curling in the corners.
The night turns chilling when Dr. David Cavenaugh—the arrogant surgeon who stole the Andersons’ dream home—raises his cup of cider.
One swallow later, he collapses, poisoned before the stunned guests.
Whispers of murder ripple through Wheatfield, and suspicion falls on Lucy’s bakery.
Determined to clear her friend’s name, Maggie follows a trail of grudges and hidden motives.
But with shadows lengthening and fear tightening its grip, Maggie must expose the killer hiding in the autumn shadows… before the next toast turns deadly.
