Grave Matters of the Heart
(2026)(The fifth book in the Grave Matter Mysteries series)
A novel by Wynn Valentine
Love is blind. But the dead see everything.
Merritt Vance is used to cleaning up Fallows’ messy history—but she draws the line at family drama.
When her best friend’s mother, the formidable Lenie Bouvier, sweeps into town to marry a slick Atlanta developer, Merritt is dragged into a whirlwind of wedding plans, champagne toasts, and a fiancé who wants to turn the Sinking Grounds into a luxury resort.
Dirk Taggart claims Fallows Landing will be the Venice of Georgia.
Merritt knows it will be a watery grave.
When a surveyor’s shack reveals a body encased in concrete—and a restless spirit bound to it—Merritt realizes Taggart’s foundation is built on a century-old crime. With the ground shifting beneath their feet and a sinkhole threatening to swallow the reception whole, Merritt teams up with Chase, the developer’s disillusioned son, and her partner-in-law Jasper to stop the construction before the past is buried for good.
Because in Fallows, you can’t cover up the truth without the ground fighting back.
In Grave Matters of the Heart, the fifth book in the Grave Matters Mysteries series, Merritt faces her most personal case yet.
If you love Southern weddings, swampy secrets, and heroines who bring a sledgehammer to the reception, you’ll love this cozy paranormal showdown.
Perfect for fans of family secrets, environmental revenge, and masons who don’t back down.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
