The wild west. Enchanted flowers. A new witch accused of murder…
I thought it was going to be a day like any other. Clock in for my shift in the toll booth. Hand out tickets all day. Clock out. But a cowboy snatched me up before I punched in for the day and hauled me here, to this working ranch in Montana.
I always wanted to see Big Sky Country, just didn’t figure it would happen like this…
He and his family tell me I’m a witch, and I’m supposed to work in the magical flower shop here. The thing is, I know nothing about plants and I can’t even read the spell book they’ve given me.
A murder by the barn on my first day here doesn’t make my situation any better. The blacksmith thinks I did it, and there’s going to be a hex in my face if I don’t prove my innocence. How am I going to get out of this one? (Amazon)

It is 1936. Undercook Joan Hart and lady’s maid Verity Hunter are back in London after a long stay in the country. The capital is fraught and unsettled. Protests and riots are taking place regularly, fascism is on the rise and trouble in Europe is brewing, but the girls are still thrilled to be back in the Big Smoke, ready for some fun and frivolity.
That is, until an old friend of Verity’s contacts the servant sleuths, asking for help. Maidservant Theda Samuels was the only one in the house when tycoon Sir Jacob MacMullen was killed, and things are looking very black for her… unless Joan, Verity and their old ally Inspector Marks might be able to help?
A Murder in Mayfair is the fourth in the historical mystery series, Miss Hart and Miss Hunter Investigate, by bestselling crime writer Celina Grace.
Praise for Celina Grace by Amazon and Goodreads reviewers:
“Thoroughly enjoyed this read. I’ve been waiting for this story since the first of the Asharton novellas was published and I am very glad to see more of Joan and Verity. I think they are a great mystery team. Smart and active, but in a believable way. You don’t ever wonder how they could do what they do within the confines of their social roles and their “real” jobs are never thrown to the side.”
“Celina makes her characters someone you care about. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes mysteries, especially period mysteries.”
” I love her writing style. This book does not disappoint. A great mix of mystery, humor and wonderful characters. All in a beautiful Manor. Very enjoyable read.”
“I have read the four Asharton Manor books and enjoyed them all, but the first story that introduced Joan and Verity was my favorite and I am so glad the author wrote another story with the two of them. This time period is very interesting to me and then to throw in a couple murders to solve makes it extra interesting. I hope to read more about Joan, Verity and ( maybe Inspector Marks ?) in future books.” (Amazon)

And worse, would he be the next victim before he had a chance to divulge it?

★★★★★
Researching for the Ginger Gold Mysteries has been so much fun. I hope you sense that as you read. Ginger Gold is smart, savvy, and delightful. The fashions, the dances, the CRIME. The character of Haley Higgins, a medical student at the London Medical School for Women allows me to further delve into another keen interest of mine: forensics. Never fear, the Ginger Gold Mysteries are COZY, so no scary, graphic on-stage violence. You’ll find these books to be clean reads, with no swearing or sex. I hope you enjoy the Ginger Gold Mystery series!

An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premier destination for murder.
— Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison’s books, “…easy, frothy fun!”
A laugh out loud cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore and her partner in cozy crime, USA TODAY Bestseller Bellamy Bloom.
***Includes RECIPE
My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Cider Cove, Maine, is sweltering in the heat of a long, hot, summer as the inn plays host to a local TV show, Cider Cove Home and Heart. While a trio of domestic divas do their best to regale their viewers with a clam bake, someone in the crowd is about to regale them with murder. A cute golden retriever puppy is soon left without its owner and I not only has a new home to find for the sweet pup, I have a killer to catch.
Emmie has a secret that will be brought to light, and Macy’s dirty thirty birthday bash is at hand.
Things are heating up in Cider Cove this summer—and with a homicide front and center, the clam bake isn’t the only thing about to boil over.
Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones and an ornery yet dangerously good looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer.
The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.
Cider Cove, Maine is the premier destination for fun and relaxation. But when a body turns up, it’s the premier destination for murder. (Amazon)
