Hello, kitten,
Ava Fantome-Cross is back, and this time, the mystery starts with flowers, finger sandwiches…and Ava’s mother digging up a body.
In Murder & Marigolds, the eleventh book in the Confessions of a Closet Medium series, eccentric Virginia Winthrop has left her grand estate and historic gardens to the town, and the brand-new Thornhollow Garden Society is ready to begin restoring the property. Ava expects opinions about mulch, tea-table gossip, and probably at least one disagreement over proper pruning technique.
She does not expect her mother to uncover human remains in the flowerbeds.
Now a frightened ghost is appearing among the marigolds, and Ava is pulled into a decades-old mystery rooted in coded flower meanings, hidden messages in vintage seed catalogs, and one very dangerous Winthrop family secret.
The deeper Ava digs, the more she realizes this murder is about more than scandal. Someone buried the truth a long time ago, and they may not be done protecting it.
If you love Southern ghost cozy mysteries with garden club drama, old family secrets, a little humor, and one very inconvenient skeleton, I hope you’ll preorder Murder & Marigolds today.

I had so much fun writing this one. It has everything I love about Thornhollow: Ava getting pulled into trouble despite her best intentions, Mama in rare form, Kit being Kit, a ghost with a heartbreaking secret, and enough garden-club tension to make you side-eye every woman holding a trowel.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting Ava’s next mystery. Preorders help so much, and I’m so excited for you to wander into the Winthrop gardens with her.
With love and a suspicious amount of marigolds,
Nyx 🌼
