Overview
A charming Savannah mystery featuring a relatable, later‑in‑life protagonist, plenty of Southern charm, and a soft, satisfying puzzle. Ideal for fans of cozy reads with heart, humour, and hope.
They’ve lived in Savannah all their lives. They know the whispers, the scandals, the skeletons. Which makes them the perfect trio to crack a cold case the city’s upper crust would rather forget.
Emma Lynn Whitmore never imagined retirement would involve chasing killers, but when a decades-old murder of a family friend resurfaces, she’s drawn into a mystery refusing to stay buried. With her sharp-eyed best friend Margaret Duval and their quirky sidekick Graham Boone, Emma Lynn digs into the shadows of Savannah’s genteel history—where old money, long-kept scandals, and family secrets intertwine.
The deeper they search, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Someone in Savannah still wants the past to stay hidden, and the trio—soon to become known as The Savannah Sleuths—must decide how far they’re willing to go to bring truth into the light.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, Southern sass, and sleuths who’ve traded curfews for reading glasses—but haven’t lost their taste for trouble.
