A Moonlit Mausoleum Mystery - Book 2
Inheriting a haunted cemetery wasn't on Magnolia Thorne's bingo card for her fresh start in small-town Louisiana.
When her eccentric great-aunt leaves her the Moonlit Mausoleum Cemetery—complete with a sentient cottage that broadcasts her emotions in Technicolor and a bad-tempered alligator with a marshmallow addiction—Magnolia thinks her biggest challenge will be mastering a lawn mower. She's wrong.
Dead wrong.
The cemetery is restless. Whispers drift from bootlegger tunnels beneath the grounds, and on the full moon, a devastatingly handsome ghost materializes in her kitchen with a century-old chip on his shoulder. Declan Gallagher, Prohibition-era bootlegger and certified grump, was murdered in 1927—and he's convinced Magnolia is his last chance at justice.
The problem? Everyone's been blaming the wrong killer for a hundred years.
As Magnolia digs into the past, she uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into Gravesend's most respected families. But someone in the present is desperate to keep history buried, and they'll do whatever it takes to stop a nosy cemetery keeper from disturbing the dead. With Sheriff Boone threatening to shut her down, the town's gossip brigade questioning her sanity, and Declan's spectral form literally coming apart at the seams, Magnolia must solve a murder, save her ghost, and somehow convince her rescue alligator that municipal property destruction is not the answer to every problem.
In Gravesend, Louisiana, the dead don't rest easy—and neither will you.
A delightfully spooky Southern Gothic tale where the sweet tea is cold, the casseroles are sacred, and true love might just transcend death itself.
A Moonlit Mausoleum Mystery - Book 1
When Magnolia "Maggie" Thorne arrives in Gravesend for her great-aunt’s funeral, the last thing she expects is to inherit a crumbling cemetery—and a cranky alligator.
Boudreaux, the cemetery’s scaly mascot, isn’t just sulking over tourists. He’s mourning his twin, Beau… who inconveniently refuses to stay buried. On the night of the full moon, Beau’s ghost rises from the bayou and insists his death wasn’t an accident.
Now Maggie's caught in her first Gravesend mystery, tangled up in gossiping townsfolk, restless spirits, and two very opinionated alligators. If she can’t solve the riddle of Beau’s demise before moonlight fades, the ghost gator may never find peace—and she may never survive her first week as caretaker of the Moonlit Mausoleum.
Quirky, spooky, and full of southern gothic charm, All Gators Go to Heaven is the perfect introduction to the Moonlit Mausoleum Mysteries—a series where the dead rise, the gators snap, and love refuses to rest.
