Silent Night, Haunted Night
(2025)(The second book in the Moonlit Mausoleum Mystery series)
A novel by Cynthia Rowan
Christmas in Gravesend was never going to be quiet—but this year, the ghosts are caroling.
When an unseasonal freeze sweeps through Magnolia Thorne’s haunted cemetery, even her sentient cottage is shivering in shades of blue. The bayou’s turned to ice, spectral visitors are stirring, and a flapper ghost named Beverly insists Magnolia has three nights to solve a ninety-seven-year-old murder.
Beverly’s brother, Declan Gallagher—a gruff, century-old bootlegger ghost with an Irish accent and unfinished business—has one goal: set his sister’s spirit free before Christmas dawn. With Declan at her side, a psychic best friend brandishing mistletoe, and an alligator who’s claimed her kitchen as his new kingdom, Magnolia dives headfirst into a mystery buried beneath the frost.
But the deeper she digs, the colder the truth becomes—because someone in Gravesend is still guarding the secret that killed Beverly Gallagher on Christmas Eve, 1928.
Now Magnolia must outwit the living, face down dark magic, and stop a century-old curse before the stroke of midnight on Christmas morning.
In a town where the casseroles come with side helpings of gossip, the dead don’t rest easy, and love can cross even the Veil, Christmas is about to get hauntingly heartfelt.
A cozy Southern Gothic holiday mystery full of ghostly charm, small-town chaos, and just enough Christmas spirit to warm the grave.
Genre: Mystery
