Thorns on Old Battery Walk
(2026)(The fifth book in the Camellia Cove Mystery series)
A novel by Sally Winters
Old Battery Walk is the most beautiful street in Camellia Cove — iron gates, ancient live oaks, and gardens that have been tended by serious people across generations of serious time. It is also, as Tessa Keen is about to discover, the kind of street where a thirty-year friendship can quietly contain something neither party has said out loud, where a property line is more than a survey marker, and where the loveliest gardens occasionally grow exactly the wrong plants.
When one of the Walk's most formidable residents is found dead on the morning of the Garden Tour, her granddaughter knows enough to call Tessa before she calls anyone else. What looks, at first, like a tragedy is something more deliberate. What looks, at second glance, like a simple motive is something older and sadder and considerably more tangled. Tessa has worked four cases in this town. She has never worked one quite like this.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
